“Birdhouse”
Larry Downing
Ceramic Sculpture
A birdhouse is a temporary home like this body or this world. It is
a metaphor reminding me to "consider the birds" and look to
God as my creative creator source and my cherished destination. He has
renewed my mind and set me free to see, at least a little, from his vantage
point. Perhaps my renewed mind is dancing on the shoulders of the old
man. My wife has learned to dance much better than I. Her greatest tip
is to keep your eyes off your own feet and look your partner in the eye.
May God grant us the wisdom to keep our eyes off of our stumbling feel
and on Him.
