New Work...The New City

While staying at home binging Netflix, cooking endlessly, working my way toward the worst teacher award, and doing home workouts during commercial breaks (which means not very often when you are watching Netflix). I've been revisiting the Hebrew prophets  (It's all about balance)  and their warnings against Empires being built on the exploitation of the minority: the slaves, the women, the immigrants...using stagnant religion to justify the end and the means.  The prophets warned, grieved and then dreamed of a "New Jerusalem." I don't identify myself with any religion, though I've studied a lot of religion and spirituality, and that exploration is an important part of who I am, but those old prophecies seem to be rising to the front of my mind right now as we examine our culture.  There has been a lot of grief and anxiety, and yet I still hope and dream of our own New City.  Old  walls crumble and new architecture erects  structures out of light, diversity, nature, femininity...This series is my  own prophetic imagination of The New City.
