I must admit that I am a bit of an Episcopalian snob (but by no means a religious fanatic), and I just adore a composer named John Rutter. There is a Rutter piece I love that has the following words:

Go forth into the world in peace
Be of Good courage
Be of Good courage

That's what this picture says to me. I must admit that I've been wanting to say these words since your 'grief' entry.

I love this picture. :)

Thanks Andrea-
I wasn't able to go this year and I was really missing it. I feel a little better now. :)

andrea,

thank you for always celebrating everyone and all cultures.

How fortuitous that your post for today should be called "faith." I was just thinking as I accessed your site, that seeing what you've done with your jewelry and photography and journal have given me *faith* that it's OK to do my thing in my own way, and to follow my intuition when it says that so-and-so's advice/method/requirements/etc. are a load of crap and my way is just fine for me.
