Text of the page (random words):
my yard and decided to make an orthodox style small shrine with an icon inside i painted the icon with acrylics and a heavy varnish of marine spar varnish i think that will be more durable outside in the elements i made one for a friend who built the wooden shrine for the icon he chose st michael the archangel it is installed in his backyard as a special prayer spot blessing the icon st michael the archangel garden shrine i made one for myself this one 2 sided it is installed on my front deck one side facing our front porch entry the other into the private deck as a prayer corner for our family one side is theotokos child jesus the other side is christ pantocrator i hope that this small witness to faith in our lord jesus might inspire someone else to create something beautiful in their own space posted in art catholic icons catholicism christian prayer icon iconography uncategorized tagged art art in bavaria art in poland christianity environmental art faith expression folk

totally different sort of artist goes through the creative process i go through so many of the same struggles especially relating to the 2nd guessing at the end whether visual art or musical composing a work is never really perfect in the artist s eyes it always seems that one can do more tweak it more my media and thus method necessarily differ but i certainly related to the post that i just shared but as much struggle as creating art might entail it is nothing compared to the confusion sowed by trying to figure out technology i wanted to put the above paragraph as part of my sharing of the music post but could not for the life of me figure how to make it appear so i decided to write this brief post as an introduction to the one right after it i hope you enjoy the shared post and find it as enlightening as i did posted in uncategorized leave a comment a creative process posted on may 4 2018 by reinkat i have decided to combine my three independently produced seven song eps into one album to represent 2016 2017 which i will name relics 16 17 fourteen of the twenty one tunes have been selected and this collection will take the place of my homemade eps over the last two years on my merch table these are home recordings in via the making of relics 16 17 chris baron music posted in art uncategorized tagged art comparing the arts creative process making art making music music leave a comment looking at church art jesus posted on february 19 2018 by reinkat as i traveled in germany and poland i noticed that the images of jesus that i saw were different ones from those in the united states every crucifix was different of course and always present in every church we visited but it was the choices of the other images that was unusual to me most churches had the icon of divine mercy and many pieta and sacred heart images but there were a couple that i had never seen before this is what i am used to seeing as far as devotional church art depicting jesus we were travelling during the end of the easter season many if not all of the german and polish altars had a statue of christ risen and victorious a red cloth hung over the empty cross on the other side of the altar the statue was often smaller as if it was put up just for the easter season occasionally it was a permanent painting it was also a well loved subject for wayside shrines alongside a hiking trail in bavarian alps small statue on altar sandomiercz poland krakow poland gdansk poland gdansk poland even more widespread was an image called the pensive christ it was not one that i had ever seen before roadside shrines altars statues paintings indoors outdoors folk art cathedral art it was immensely popular in both germany and poland we stopped and prayed with this image saying rosaries for my dear mom who passed away earlier last year prayer corner in cathedral krakow poland modern church krakow partenkirchen germany strozowka rural poland it depicted jesus seated waiting patiently during a brief pause before the next assault on him he had been physically tortured whipped scourged slapped a crown of thorns pressed onto his head he had been mocked ridiculed spat on as he sat there waiting for what would come next what was he thinking of what did he pray for was it for forgiveness for his tormentors was it for strength and courage for his followers did he think of his mother praying with sadness at her pain asking that she be comforted and strengthened 20th century stone carving gdansk poland posted in art catholic icons catholicism christian prayer uncategorized

on february 19 2018 by reinkat i was blessed to be able to travel last summer visiting southern germany and poland it was a wonderful trip my husband is not one for museums but we saw so much beautiful artwork in the churches of both countries there were images from as early as the 11th century through our times they were painted on panels fresco d on walls created as mosaics carvings sculptures truly marvelous to see i noticed how different the typical images were in europe vs the united states most often in the u s at least in the western regions where i have lived the images of mary most often portrayed her as the immaculate conception or our lady of lourdes also very popular were our lady of fatima and our lady of guadalupe these images are everywhere in churches homes gardens holy cards and even in miniature stamped onto rosary beads throughout the polish and alpine german areas there were also images of the mother of god in churches shrines gardens and on public buildings the images seen most often were from the book of revelations like these modern statue inside krakow church on the exterior of a public building near the jesuit church and as our lady of sorrows pierced by swords such as these at foot of the cross partenkirchen germany cathedral in bischofweisen germany cathedral in munich local church in partenkirchen germany and as our lady queen of heaven often holding the christ child bischofweisen germany medieval altar carving in gdansk poland medieval egg tempera painting in cathedral in gdansk poland 16th century carving berlin germany there were also many statues of the pieta with this one shown below in a side altar in the cathedral in gdansk poland i am not enough of an expert to speculate as to the hows or whys but found these cultural differences fascinating only our lady of guadalupe had some resemblance to the european types in coloring of garments and depiction of strength i d love some insights if you care to comment

faith and learning it has been for all of us she spent the first 6 years of her life running loose foraging for food and fighting for survival on the island of phuket thailand she was captured and put into a cage and taken to a meat market the soi dog foundation rescued her from there and all of the horrors that that end would have meant soi dog is thai for street dog they took her to a shelter and gave her medical treatment a kind donor paid to fly her and 7 others to the u s for adoption she lived in another shelter for a year and then she came home to us she is sweet and loving by nature yet aloof she has no clue how to be a pet how to be part of a family she is strong and healthy she is also self willed self reliant totally self centered and very stubborn she longs to run free again and has a strong urge to chase or worse after chickens and small animals she loves to roam to explore endlessly she doesn t respond to spoken words much at all she has no concept of obedience we are asking her to give up all of the freedom and independence that she has known and to be a friend and companion now we ask her to love to trust to allow herself to be dependent and to rely on us for her needs we ask her to accept our will and our judgement over own wants and decisions we ask her to share food and toys with others she will be cared for she will have enough we ask her to open her heart and to ask us for comfort and for meeting her needs we want her to love to allow herself to be loved and to return it to us we want her to trust in our love to trust in our care for her we want her to submit her will to ours and to obey us as i think about this i realize what a role model she is for us what we ask of her our heavenly father is asking of us as christians she is a little messenger of the right way to be every day we watch her transformation the blossoming of peace and contentment in her heart i hope that we can do the same in our life journey posted in catholicism christian prayer

reinkat i ve heard that it takes a village to raise a child it s a nice idea i liked it for a long time i imagined an encouraging community supporting parents in bringing up healthy well adjusted young people but in truth the village is failing it takes mothers and fathers to raise a child despite the village the mothers and fathers need to be vigilant there are all levels in which this is happening but i want to point out just one perhaps a small one that i notice within the scope of my own observation i think it is significant i see a lot of children s books as an illustrator and as a worker in a public library many of the books are beautiful but some are rather startling i have heard it argued that people have a right to publish what they want say what they want to anybody and read what they want it is the job of parents to make sure that what their children read is suitable if they have any objections to what is published most parents are very careful about what their preschool and elementary age children read but begin to step back and allow tweens and teens more freedom to chose what they find interesting often relieved that their kids continue to read for pleasure at all they might even assume that a title wouldn t be in the library in the children s or young adult section if it were not wholesome and good for the children s wellbeing you know the village thing don t count on it i want to highlight just a couple of widely read books that i randomly casually spotted in my local library they were not even in the young adult section but in the children s center a section roughly aimed at kids age 5 to 10 pictures are worth a thousand words they have a profound impact on our subconscious i wonder if parents really want their boys or girls to absorb the messages presented here these particular books happen to be manga books created in japan and they are wildly popular have a look at the covers and some of the inside pages and see what you think i see insinuations of rape pedophilia encouragement of sexual experience sexualizing of young children etc remember these are marketed to kids kindergarten through 5th grade and often looked at by 3 and 4 year olds as they choose their comic books above is the front cover of just one book following are inside pages from several books including a repeat of this cover illustration i was disgusted by all of them because of the young age of the intended viewers and the lifestyle that is encouraged and promulgated posted in art uncategorized tagged it takes a village to raise a child

please pray this prayer with me today for this nation posted on november 8 2016 by reinkat a beautiful prayer posted in uncategorized 1 comment house of prayer posted on september 13 2016 by reinkat it s sunday i went first to the place that we human beings built for god he graciously comes to us there in the holy sacrifice of the mass and in the gift of the eucharist and then i went for the rest of the day to one of the places that god created for us to live in praise him in and to lovingly care for it was quiet there sitting on the smooth gray rocks the forest was dappled with sunlight and the creek was clean and clear i was seeking solitude and i found it with only birdsong gurgling water and a brilliant red crayfish to share it with a good place for pondering reflecting and long conversation with our god i left with my heart quiet and at peace posted in catholicism christian prayer uncategorized tagged peace of heart prayer prayer in nature 4 comments older posts search for
