"Rocket"
one-line #4

Today we built a rocket that my youngest got with some Christmas money. 950' later this drawing is all we have left (that thing took off!) - across the field, then the road, then into the woods...we search the woods intently to find it - when it's all said and done it made for a great Christmas break memory.

Illustration Friday prompt



one-line pen & ink drawing with colored pencils

regret:

Actively living in the past tense.

revelation:

I think therefore God is.

reality:

It can be as solid as bedrock and as shifting as clouds.

receive:

Proverbs 2:1-2

My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding...

A "then" is coming...but before it does one must ask, "How do we receive words?" - it is by listening; an attentive ear, an inclined heart...a gift given and then put in the store house of the mind...it is slow and quiet like snow but covers with such delight.

rest:

lifting the blinds so the sun can shine in

read:

Depending how you read it will determine what is read. A bit like the adventure of life.

rural:

Open and inviting...quiet and clam...The place where one builds his cottage and writes with a cut quill and dipped ink and little is known of excess and words are kept in small tins hidden in the cupboard of life only to be spent on rare occasions.

rain:

It falls like thought - at times in a mist...at times in a thunderous rush.
