A friend posted this find on facebook and I just had to share it here!  The beauty of connection portrayed in an absolutely breath-taking way.

I have had the privilege of intersecting paths with many remarkable people during my time at MHGS. One such individual is a gifted woman and artist named Heather who vulnerably and ingeniously invited our student body to experience Lent in a new way through 7 weeks of performance art. I was only able to attend three of these performances and was deeply moved by each piece. She posted a blog about the experience here. If I have learned anything during my time at this school it has been that I desperately need to be surrounded by people willing to take creative risks and people with the audacity to stretch imagination. Heather's creativity, like many others, has been food to my hungry soul.

Beauty By Faith Gauthier (age 9)

Beauty is the flowers
in the
Meadow
The water
in the
Brook
A person
in the
World
A face
in a thousand
faces
The life
that you
deserve
That is
the
Beauty
Of
Life

A New Paradigm of Intelligence

We watched this clip in my Vocational & Occupational Direction class tonight and thought it was well worth posting here!

I received a link to this video from a dear friend yesterday. It was so powerful and moving that I had to post it here!

Theology Project

I've been up late tonight working on this project for my theology class. It's an assignment that has consumed much of my thoughts in the past month. We were asked to creatively construct a "map" to illustrate our current understanding or questioning in regard to God in the context of relationship with Humanity...or more pointedly - God in relation to myself. Although poetry was my primary medium for this project (which allowed me an opportunity to open the questions up even moreso internally), I did attempt to draw something. Lauren, I thought you would be proud of me so I decided to post a little picture for your viewing.
