bits of notes

David Bayless
“One of the basic and difficult lessons that every artist must learn is the even the failed pieces are essential.”

Awesome time learning about the God who wastes nothing tonight.

What do you think your failed pieces are?
Those ugly little nasty times in your life that you feel are stagnant, gross, and uneventful.
Did you know they were of value, of purpose, of plan?
The God who wastes nothing uses everything to create opportunities.
The question is: What are you going to do in response to those opportunities?

In the Native American culture it is unacceptable to make perfect rugs. Where the blemish is in the rug is where the spirit enters.

God enters when we suffer, when we are in pain, when we are reduced to millions of blemishes.

more to come :]

I love this post.

Your post triggered something my grandma says to me a lot..you look at the backside of a tapestry, its purpose is unclear. but from a weavers perspective, a beautiful pattern appears.
