Cultivating
“The purpose of the Cultivating website is to provide a true and beautiful place online for the inspiration and encouragement of believers everywhere, especially those engaged in creative endeavors.“
The founder of Cultivating is the wise and loving Lancia Smith. The heart of Cultivating, as Lancia has written, :The word cultivate has particular significance and beauty to me. It not only represents the deep love that I hold for gardening but also in a single word it describes the deepest value of how I choose to live: affirming, nurturing and defending what is Good, True and Beautiful. To cultivate with deliberate intention is an act of choice, courage and creative hope” I have happily been writing for Cultivating for almost two years (see links to my essays in Musings.). Cultivating is a community of art makers who encourage, cheer, and pray for each other. This summer issue’s theme is Courage. It is full of rich essays, beautiful images, stories, poetry, music. It’s been a delight reading this issue. Here are several links to essays, poems, and photos from this issue.
