Karey's Overflow: Last Tessuract

About Me

Name: Karey

Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

Last Tessuract

After a busy weekend I'm finally able to sit with the death's of two people, who's giftings I've so enjoyed.

I loved Luciano Pavarotti's voice. He'll live on for me in the few recordings I have. Monte and Dawson still laugh at me at a time they came home to my "Three Tenors" CD blasting away. I am thankful to my mother for exposing me to opera.

And farewell to Madeleine L'Engle. I still retain the image of my son Travis as a teen 'explaining' to me by taking his two fisted hands, like holding fabric, and bringing them together causing "A Wrinkle in Time", the bringing of two worlds together. I enjoyed her highly imaginative science fiction stories with my children. And I loved her "Meet the Austins" too. And I really enjoyed all her adult books--liking her thought processes and her 'jags'. I will miss her. I often went on a L'Engle jag.
