Thoughts from January 15 (slightly belated)

Here is a quick summary of ideas from Sunday:


Wisdom is found in the city, on the mountain, and in our homes/at our doors. (proverbs 8) Many visualized a doorway with us inviting in wisdom or being open to wisdom .... ideas of faces in the doorway, maybe projecting stop-motion imagery that gives the sense of welcoming wisdom by different people, through time/seasons, in different circumstances. I'm trying to figure out how we could actually do this! (and what space we might have to work with) What might a doorway be like? How big? On the wall? Freestanding? Hanging in air? Rooted in the earth? How is wisdom depicted that we can be open to it? How could it look good whether we were projecting images or not? How does the white cloth work in? Could it integrate? Do we see the path of folly?


The other central idea that many found sticking is the image of lady wisdom and the possibility of projecting images onto some kind of figure - the concept of our times being played out against a backdrop of wisdom on offer. How is wisdom present, moving, speaking differently into different times?


FYI John & Ryan are open to ideas that might incorporate the white cloth - the intent was for it to stay up until Lent, and then be incorporated into a Lenten theme..... but they are open to ideas for integrating with us.
