Um Conto de Natal Brasileiro

Para meus amigos de língua portuguesa, aqui está meu conto de Natal brasileiro em seu idioma.

Por David Brazzeal English version can be found here. O pastor grisalho limpa o suor de sua testa. “Em resumo: manteremos as coisas do mesmo jeito do ano passado, ‘tá bom?

South Florida Park Labyrinths

During COVID times I made quite a few grass labyrinths in public parks here in South Florida. I only got chewed out once because what I thought was a public park was owned by a rather crusty old man who seemed to enjoy yelling at me to keep off his grass.

My Newest Labyrinth

For the past few days I’ve been engaged in a very fun creative project. It’s a labyrinth for an off-Art Basel event in Wynwood, Miami. The other day I tested it out in our church basement. It is the first one that I’ve made from fake leaves. I’ll make the real installation on Dec 1. http://www.guerrillalabyrinths.com #labyrinth #labirinto #labyrinthe #artbaselmiami

It’s Good, it’s Solid; and it’s Fresh

“I’m not usually looking for originality or novelty in a book on prayer. This one gives a fresh look, again and again, and in many ways. It’s good, it’s solid; and it’s fresh. I recommend this highly.” — David, Amazon Review

My Hope for the Book

My Hope for the Book

It is my hope that this book will help move your spiritual life in a new direction, that it will help to redefine “praying” for you in the same way that living in France has changed my definition of eating. May it expand your prayer palette so your soul becomes accustomed to new tastes and textures. May it invite you on the adventure of mastering ancient exotic recipes from yet unexplored realms…
