The dictionary says of “winnow” =
(of the wind) blow.
“the autumn wind winnowing its way through the grass”
It’s not grass. And I don’t know the season. But it seems to me the wind has winnowed this tree a lot over a lot of time.

Rain gives life.
Rain sustains life.
If it rains too hard or too long, rain can threaten life.
Always good to remember those possibilities.
Not sure when or where I took this photo. I found it in my files.

A lot of my “making” lately has revolved around food. I cook more than I ever imagined I would. The colors and textures of this breakfast are intriguing.
Writing of prayers is a form of making, I suppose. As is writing at work.
God makes all things. And God makes all things new. And when we make, we live into being created in the image of God.
