“Fin” is the Latin word for “end”… “ish” is used to indicate a “sort of” or “about” condition. “I’ll meet you around noonish for the moon launch.”

MUSTARD SEED
Casting Light on the Net

Every now and then, I almost feel like I’m “finished” with MUSTARD SEED. Artists like to “fin” their work. But I’m not sure if this web project has an “end”. Whenever I think I’m at the fin, something always comes up-ish.

Every day starts something new. Below is a favorite song from my past, present & future. It’s about the cleansing inspiration of “new”.

Sometimes I find a paragraph that needs to be moved from one post to another or else just simply edited for a better read or I may even add something new. My goal is to make my Maker glad instead of sad like I’ve done so many times before. I begged Him to kill me when I was a child. I’m grateful He took me under His wing instead. ❤️

Expounding on 7

Below I explain my artists poem from the Art page for the benefit of anyone who would like an explanation. Your art is whatever God gave you to do that uplifts others and yourself in love… Maybe it’s simply being a good neighbor. ❤️

Artists

art, words and music awaken the senses
(inspired works can make us feel good or bad)

composing mood reflections from life’s reasoned fences
(we each have unique perspectives so reactions to a work vary)

encoded skill and mind is the foundry
(everyone has gifts to share)

beyond the grip of night’s emotional boundary
(anxiety and depression stifle inspiration)

works evolve as inspired emotion is resolved
(creativity is bolstered by the spirit)

finished initially when the artist has evolved
(work concludes when a curtain is drawn)

finally completed when an audience is involved
(artist’s works are completed by an audience)

In Closing…

The Internet is Earth’s ethereal lighted stage and community center.

Building this website has been a rewarding experience akin to meeting a stranger and not knowing what to expect. Then after a lengthy exchange becoming great friends!

Katie, my youngest, asked me a while back to write something about myself for her in a “dad” book to have for posterity. I hope this website does a better job than I did in my little book.

🥰

Hang on to what gives you peace. Hang on to what helps you to love and uplift others along with yourself.

I hope that in grateful silence… we ask for less and listen more.

Credits

Special thanks to Susan1 and Susan2, without whom I would be lost in space.

Thanks to my family and friends for their help with spelling and grammar. But mostly for the life lessons, love, patience, and understanding.

Most of all, thanks to God, who deserves ALL the credit for EVERYTHING!

We are God made and man kind.

Thank you God for making me, loving me, and showing me how to love… most especially, how to love others, for that’s the key to peace.
