Assessment.
Heart: beating
now faintly
pulse surges,
fades;
Grace defies
death-fear:
half-closed eyes.
Breath: there
now shallow,
another deep
gasp.
Life-truth: inhale
mouth, dry;
heat, pale.
Quickly, bind!
pressure stays:
weak blood
life-blood.
Lay my body
in a bath;
the water from
Your side.
Wash my wounds;
bind them.
Your life-blood
for mine.
Fill my lungs
with air,
with You.
Only You I breathe.
My heart cannot
beat alone.
It's You I need.

About Me
- Millie
- My grandparents met and were married here on the prairies where my great grandfather became the first rancher to own electricity and telephone in our county. He kept cattle and she kept the house (dirt floor) and the children (7). Three generations later I am creating artwork inspired by this heritage and using the skills my grandmother taught me when I learned to knit at age seven. This blog is my space to reflect on the processes of creativity and explore how our roots intersect with a modern life.

Psalm 69:13
But as for me, my prayer is to you
O LORD.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast
love, answer me in your saving
faithfulness.
