Willa, thank you so much. I have been looking for those instructions for a long time. I knew that I had seen them someplace before, and I couldn't remember where.

The handiest book I had near me was the Bible. So, I turned to page 123 in my Bible and the fifth sentence reads like this:

"The raw flesh is unclean; he has an infectious disease."

It's not inspirational, in fact, it's gross, but that was the fifth sentence. I started to not even post it, but I think it's cool and even inspires our creativity to do these instructions. You are really inspiring me with your wooden shrines. I have always been interested in making shadow box type things or rooms, but on a small scale. When I was a little girl, and even for awhile as a grownup, I thought I wanted a doll house, but I think doing this on a smaller scale is more creative and lets our creative juices flow.

I look forward to seeing more of your boxes. I might go to my Hobby Lobby or Michaels and see if I can find some small boxes to do something like that.

By the way, did you see that neat shadow box thing in the March/April 2005 issue of Somerset Magazine? It's on page 116 and it's called Eat Cake. It's so cool. I might try one.
 

Willa,

I've just found your site today. What fun. I have previously heard of this type of divination; random choosing of sentences from a book.

My results: from Boulevard;Fall 2004;Vol.20;No.1; page 123.

A beautiful black and white photograph enitiled,"The Wedding",2004, by Steven Kenny, oil on canvas, 46 x 26.

The photograph of his original painting is not unlike paintings I have seen of Abraham wrestling with the angel. A luminous white gown swirls around the bride from head to toe. Smoke rises from below the bride. A simple camp fire encircled stones. The bride, hovering no more than one foot above the fire, strikes a ballerina pose, her eyes closed, her lips need no words. The brides face confirms her validation of the moment. Her dream is realized,"The Wedding."

First. Passions fire. The heat. The passion remains. The foundation. The cleansing smoke rises. Clarity. The beginning. Two lives founded in passion. The transormation. Two into one. Two remain. The Wedding. Sprit,soul and body.

Making in personal. Remember there is a process. A still life. A painting. A black and white photograph. A moment. Each one. You and I. Tend our fire. Smoke will rise. Clarity will come. The process. The moment. The dream realized. Still life.

Information. I love to love to read: myteries;selective biographies;poetry;literary anthologies;Florida History;Native American hisotry and spirituality and many other categories.

Someday, I wish to a have my own website. It is nice to reach out.
 

Please, ex-cuse my typo's. Ugh. How embarassing.

Should be...."making IT personal".
Should be...."love to read".
