Penguin Poems: August 2011
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. None of us are ready. None of us are ready. Tonight. We float in a. As the tide washes us. None of us are ready. And yet it is time. We. One hand upon the stars. As a new voice sings bright. None of us are ready,. Our arms still tangled in. Each other’s hair, we lift. This wet thing to our chest. And say, “This is a gift. None of us are ready. To receive.” And it’s true. Is chastened before such. None of us are ready,. Sunday, August 2...

Penguin Poems: December 2011

A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Reading the paper placemat at Colombo’s). Start at the heel of the boot,. At the sumptuously-named Lecce,. And run your finger around the graceful. Toe, beaded with Sicilian heat. Move slowly upwards, pausing at the knee. To genuflect at the Holy City, then on. To gaze in awe at the high-swept sinews. Of the landscape leading up to Assisi. Come around the thigh, taking time to. Taste the savors of Bologna, Parma, Genoa,. Upwards by t...

Jonathan A Reuel: Songwriter for Hire: A Mask that Reveals
http://jonathanareuel.blogspot.com/2014/03/songwriter-for-hire-mask-that-reveals.html
Leadership and the Arts. Thursday, March 6, 2014. Songwriter for Hire: A Mask that Reveals. I write songs for people and organizations: a song for a spouse on their birthday, something for a grieving parent, for a friend who is getting married or graduating. Most recently I wrote nine songs for a network of people about the places they live and their vision to make those places better. When it works the person or group senses both the bones of reality and colors of transformation. My life as a landscape.

Jonathan A Reuel: Small and Cluttered Part Two (On Creative Leadership)
http://jonathanareuel.blogspot.com/2014/07/small-and-cluttered-part-two-on.html
Leadership and the Arts. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Small and Cluttered Part Two (On Creative Leadership). At this point my top two (I mean 3.5) reasons for the "small and cluttered" aspect of my life are:. 1 A chronic lack of taking seriously the need for resource gathering and realistic projections about accomplishing projects (and more importantly) grander visions. (I'm working on this.). 3 Settling for small and acceptable outcomes rather than stretch goals. (This one I am regularly blind to.). Somethi...

SmallTall Musings: l'arche at last
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2010/06/larche-at-last.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Tuesday, June 08, 2010. It was a long time coming. Immediately after my concert in Lethbridge a couple of years ago, Brad came up to me and boisterously shook my hand and said I must, I MUST, come to be the speaker at their L'Arche retreat. Brad is one of the core members of the L'Arche Lethbridge community. A glimpse of the Kingdom come. Posted by Bryan Moyer Suderman @ 10:55 AM. This group related to Jean Vanier of Community and Growth? I love to write s...

Jonathan A Reuel: April 2014
http://jonathanareuel.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Leadership and the Arts. Friday, April 4, 2014. Like it or Learn from it. When I was a kid my mother gave me the book Bridge. I got so mad at her when I finished reading it that I chewed her out in the strongest language my pre-teen, small town, committed Christian context allowed (grrrr)! I most definitely did NOT like the book. Steven Pressfield' recent post. On this subject is worth reading. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Like it or Learn from it. Visual art and Web Design.

Jonathan A Reuel: My life as a landscape
http://jonathanareuel.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-life-as-landscape.html
Leadership and the Arts. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. My life as a landscape. Christa and I recently returned from a month long trip to Thailand. One of our responsibilities was to teach organizational core values to adult students. We had fun with this, using creative exercises and discussion to engage the students in different ways (intellectually, creatively, visually, relationally, spiritually). We ask participants to imagine their life as a landscape. Is it rocky or smooth, mountainous or flat? This s...

Penguin Poems: Something worth saving (the Octain Refrain)
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2012/04/something-worth-saving-octain-refrain.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Something worth saving (the Octain Refrain). Before you start to save my soul. From hell, it’s hardly worth it yet. There so much life I want to get. To, if you’d spare the time. Is this: to take a week to break. I want to roll. Back here, sky-high on being whole,. Before you start to save my soul. Sometime last year, I ran into the poetic work of Luke Prater. He writes a great blog under the title. The rhyme scheme is as follows:.
