I've had a lot of change in the last few weeks. things that i thought i was going to be doing have not transpired... and i'm left with a big open next year. this can be a scary thing.... especially for those who believe they are in control of their lives. i am not one of those... but i do believe that a certain amount of life is responding to that which is in front of you, walking in the ways that are open, and being the change you would like to see in the world.
i realized a bit ago that the only real walls that are holding me back are the ones i have set up. somewhere in my subconscience i said "i can't do that" or "that's impossible"... and so i didn't do it.
and here i am.
so in this next year, i am going to toss those walls away and see what happens. i'm not sure what the goals are, but i'll keep you posted.
until then, i am going to kenya for a few weeks. i'm working with heart for africa and doing art projects at an orphanage where the finished art will be taken back to atlanta and shown in a gallery there. it's part of a big show that will hopefully raise money for further orphanage work.
and....
well, i ran out of time for this blog. i plan on writing down my experiences for the next two weeks. i'll keep you posted on what comes up....
peace

Hi Scott,
Just wanted to let you know that I have been following you through your web site and the transpire project and your photos on Flicr over the past year. Your paintings always make me think and especially the ones of African people make me say - "it's so great to see someone addressing the African problems in such a powerful way." Great that you are able to return to Kenya almost a year later. I am praying for you during this time that God would bring you peace and meaning and renewed encouragement in your work for Him.
I have been meditating recently on 1 Chronicles 16:9-12a and I pass this on to you.
