A rev that knows what to put where - Katie Norris

From Rev. Katie Norris
Cleveland OH

Today in the Journaling for Mental Illness class I led, we did a watercolor and glue meditative art practice to get ready to journal. Here is one if those pieces. In response to the What do I believe? question, I believe art is part if recovery from mental illness and we as a community need to help create artistic opportunities for each other in a supportive environment. That is what my ministry is for at

Katie reminds me that we do what is front us first. The Rev. left seminary to care for her mother. She probably thought a lot about it before she went but she taught me something about putting what is first, first in that moment. Family, love, care, compassion, comfort, concern, service - Katie is always looking for a way to reach out to her world, not just tomorrow but today. The Rev. looks for how she can make a difference and because of that she does.

Thanks Katie for reminding me to look and see what is here now. For being present to people who need you and art and solid ground.

Thanks for being an inspiration and a reminder.
