Beautiful Dance

My wife and I watched the movie Rumba recently. It is a movie with lots a beautiful dancing. A good film to watch.

Quote from Henri Nouwen

My wife read me this qu0te today:

“Though the forces of evil infecting whole nations and peoples are often hidden, complex, and elusive, we are called, as Christians, to unmask and expel them in the Name of the God of love.  That is the reason why we must continually search for a Christian spirituality which is global in its dimensions and unafraid to take seriously the dark forces at work on the international level.”  (Lifesigns, p. 93)

It is very appropriate for Christ the King Sunday.

I wish I were back at the SOAW March Today

Miss being there today.  I was there last year.

Celebrate

After twenty years, the six Jesuit priests have been honored by El Salvador.  El Salvador commemorated the priests by awarding them the highest civilian award.  You can see some of the coverage of this event on Democracy Now.

Patience is a Virture

Check out Robert Bergman’s exhibit at the National Gallery of Art.  He has been a photographer for almost 6 decades.  Check out this article about him on NPR.  He has developed a printing process that he describes as:

“multiple impression inkjets with various isolation coats of conservator chemicals used to intensify the colors, some of them with three days of hand-applied micro-crystal and waxes over the isolation coats.”

He worked for 14 years to get his show at the National Gallery.  He is there until Jan. I think it will be worth a visit.  Here is another article on his work.
