This morning dazzled us with its sunbeams; if only for a few minutes. The golden sun rising over the distant horizon broke through the grey and white clouds. The city buildings of Marseille have yet to come out of the darkness.

Over the past year, if there has been one book that has helped me navigate the ups and downs of irregular employment and the uncertainty of the world at large, and in the face of it all determine to still develop myself, it would be _Analects_ by Confucius.

This book, _Art & Faith_ by Makoto Fujimura, has been my #Eastertide reflective reading. Fujimura writes a lot about how slow #art and slow #creativity are a much-needed response to capitalistic consumerist culture. It’s been a treasure to re-read during this #Easter season.
