Give us this day our daily bread. (Matthew 6:11 KJV)

“What is it?” That’s literally what God’s people in the desert asked, when they discovered the daily flakes of sweetness surrounding their tents. 

Today, I sit with this canvas. This daily practice of showing up and adding a bit of color, shape or texture. And some days, I just sit with it.

“What is it?”

A painting?

A poem?

A practice?

A self-portrait?

It is all of those and more. It’s an expression, an exploration and an expirement.

It’s a journey and a joy.

It has become both a habit and an altar.

It is my prayer, my daily portion.

It is good, but it’s not finished yet.

Here’s a question to prompt you this day: 

“What’s your manna? Your daily bread?”

Feel free to wonder for awhile, or to write about it, or to just wait and see what happens, when you ask: 

“What is it?”
