I WAS CAUGHT TRESPASSING

“Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see” (Luke 10:23).

Under the lily pad

Welcome to my latest adventure, Project Views Day. It’s a 52 week practice that invites me to become more courageous.

I couldn’t swim fast enough to catch all inspirational waves. Ideas flowed, creativity flooded, and I wrote copious amounts of work. Writing…
