The story is told of the Renaissance scholar Erasmus who was asked what he thought of some folks giving money to pay penance to look upon a sacred relic. His reply went something like this: it would be better to give money to beggars who bear the very image of God. Now, whether or not the story is true it made me ask a question: How would my life change if each person I met today, I approached them with the reminder that they bear the image of God? And what would that mean?
About
What:
The Rusty Sage Brush is a blog that attempts to take life and experience it like a child full wonder, questions, curiosity and play (with a special emphasis on play): a metaphorical dancing in the rain. To this end there will be words and at times, even, sentences. These objects will be organized into stories, poems, lists, and essays.
All pictures and posts are original except where quotations and other obvious exemptions exist. Therefore, all rights/permissions belong to the author.
Who:
Currently, the voices are limited and do not have any critical, creative, or useful writing skills, but as this is being published on the internet the writer does feel a little overqualified. The person behind this blog is named James. He lives to write, chase sunsets, listen to the stories around him, fix old cars that nobody else wants, bake bread, and tell jokes that cause mass suffering but for those few seconds each day when he can be serious what he really wants is to help people find meaning, learn to play and approach each day with love.
When:
As of this time there is no determined schedule. But I do hope you enjoy the random postings I do make as I develop a more steady schedule.
Why:
The Rusty Sage Brush wants to be the metaphorical little boy stamping in a mud puddle introducing play into world. So, quite simply, because my shoes are not muddy enough yet and no one has said I have to go inside yet.
I hope you enjoy.
James
