More about the work from the artist’s website:

AUDREY - approx. 45’ x 14’ - Located on First Avenue at Nanaimo Street, Vancouver, BC - painted October 2005

This mural was sponsored by the City of Vancouver as a deterrent to graffiti and as a means of helping to beautify the neighborhood. The subject of this mural is Audrey, my daughter, and the background is in the Vancouver Art Gallery. I was trying to capture a dreamlike setting while keeping the image simple in order not to distract the passing motorists.

I dunno why I made this.

"Treat You Better Than Me
Because That’s The Heavenly Key
To Unlock The Inner Strength
Where My Essence Will Be
It’s The Knowledge Of Self
Understanding Of The Things Around Me
That becomes The Wisdom That I Need."

Feather - Nujabes (ft. Akin, Cise Starr)

The price has been paid and the chains have been broken. Now, I am free.

So ends this Lenten season.  I know that writing in this blog hasn’t on top of my priority list, but it hasn’t stopped me from keeping all of you have been in my prayers.  Whether or not I know you or if we are close in any way, I want you to know that I’ve prayed for you.  The fact that you are human and hold a spark of the divine in you is enough to connect us to a deeper thread.  That’s the power of faith.  Not so we can have dominance over another, but so we can acknowledge that we are of one unalienable dignity and tremendous worth.

Let Hope rise and I will rise with Him.

I’m actually blank as I begin typing this entry. And maybe God is trying to tell me something through this writer’s block.

Stay faithful, even when you have nothing .

The commitment I made to…

"The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life."

James L. Christensen (via stacey-hope)

"Happiness is a form of courage"

Being weak does not make you any less human but in our weakness is where Christ meets us and shows us where our Faith can take us.

There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all
