– Eve Tushnet (via wesleyhill)Peace is about finding your place.
Your place may not be comfortable. It may not be pretty; maybe part of your vocation is to make this kind of Christian life beautiful! Maybe you have the painful crown of the pioneer.
But Christ will move you past happiness, past comfort, into the hard work of peace.

Plantbombing!
Yarnbombing — or the cozying up of the urban landscape with random acts of gorgeous knitting — has already been seen popping up in a number of cities. Now San Francisco-based urban knitter and guerilla gardeners Heather Powazek Champ and Derek Powazek have publicly come out with yarn bombing’s next evolution: planting low-maintenance species in beautifully hand-knitted yarn pockets all over their fair city.
Inspired after this year’s International Yarn Bombing Day, the husband and wife pair call their project “Plantbombing,” and it combines Heather’s love of “urban knitting” and Derek’s skill at gardening. Using yarn, a bit of soil, and some hardy plants, the result is a hands-off, smile-inducing work of art.
For those of you who want to try making your own plant pockets, Heather’s site provides the instructions to get started.

Someday DIY activists are going to run out of things to turn into “bombs.” That day is not today.
This DIY’er thinks yarn-bombing and other craft-related -bombings can be kind of wasteful. Left abandoned for long enough, they eventually look like this:
That art is trash now, right? I think it looks pretty cruddy. I mean, in the grand scheme of the world’s garbage, this is a tiny drop in the ocean, but still.

From tragedy, an amazing work of photojournalism.
Just a reminder of how fast everything can change.
