Firstly Sandwiches, not that the food theme is anything surprising for me, but I had a distinct thought for sandwiches during tonights service… Secondly, Art. In two parts, the first is about a Welsh Sculptor, John Meirion Morris www.johnmeirionmorris.org/ His art is inspirational, and I wrote a reflection on this a few years ago during an exhibition of his work. Finding this writing reminded me of how intesely moving his art, the space and the music was! The second part is art by me, in response to Kathryn’s offer of art… The first five people to respond to this post will receive some form of art, by me, for them. I make no guarantees about quality or type, only of individuality. There’s a catch, of course, if you sign up, you have to put this in your own space too!
