Karey's Overflow: Quote

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.

Quote

"About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends."
-Herbert Hoover

Isn't that the truth. Just like the phrases "come to the end of your rope" or "scraping the bottom of the barrel"... I've been there! and the rope is elastic, or more length appears. And barrels can have false bottoms and you never seem to reach the bottom.

But then ... there's a "light at the end of the tunnel", and I'm not so focused on where the end or bottom is.

Karey said...: For us to think we even know the "bottom" or "end" presupposes that we know the future. If we did we would probably go insane because the challenges would be more than we could take. The end and the bottom would be much further and deeper than we could conceive of going. But the human spirit somehow rises to the challenge relying on faith to make it through.

This was said by Monte in an email edit to me, so I'm posting it for him.; January 1, 2008 7:10 PM
