The Painting I Can't Remember That Changed My Life

Image
If a piece of art changed my life, I would remember what it looked like forever. Right? I recall so many other details about that day. It was November 2016, and I was visiting the Skirball Center, a Jewish cultural institution in Los Angeles. There were several art exhibits to explore—a life-size Noah's Ark, for example, and an interactive living room created to look like a Liechtenstein. But the life-changing realization took place in a collection of paintings (I think they were paintings?) that taught about daily life in Jewish worship. "You think  they were paintings? You don't even remember that much?" I can hear you ask, and I agree! It's crazy! I mean, I remember feeling captivated  by what I saw, even though the scene in the artwork was an extremely ordinary one—a woman baking bread, perhaps? It was some sort of daily chore, accompanied by information about the exhibit titled "Daily Life: Deeds that lead to holiness." I did make note o...

Triangulating Spiritual Truth

Image
I was watching a detective show the other night when I heard a familiar phrase. "Can you triangulate that call?" Any Law & Order  fan knows that when a signal—like from a cell phone—bounces off three towers, an accurate location can be established. Thinking about that piqued my interest about triangles in general, and since I'm nerdy like that, I started reading more about them. It turns out that triangles are awesome! They're super strong. According to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center , to change a triangle's shape, an edge must collapse. But edges can be fortified, making the triangle able to hold large loads. They are ideal building blocks. But here's the crazy thing—triangles are simple, too. In fact, they're the simplest polygon. According to the University of Cambridge Wild Maths program , a common way to approach a tricky problem, like analyzing a complex surface, is by approximating it with these simple triangles. Accuracy. Strength....

What Will We Leave Behind?

Did you know that Charles Dickens—that's right, the guy who wrote "A Christmas Carol"—wrote a book about the life of Jesus? And the best part is that he wrote it for his kids! The handwritten manuscript was a private family treasure for many years, until the children decided to share it with the world in 1934. It was the last work of Dickens to be published. I have a tradition of reading the short book each Easter. As a Christian, I appreciate the overview it gives of the life of Jesus Christ. But most of all, it's a good reminder to me that each of us—whether we have "children of our own" or not—have the opportunity to create something meaningful to leave the next generation. Whether that ''thing" is a tangible item, or a teaching, or an influence, it has the potential to continue shaping, strengthening, and empowering our children long after we've left. Every day gives us another chance to create—through words, artwork, letters, v...
