A new art installation at the crystal bridges north forest trail has stayed in my brain and I knew that meant I needed to take my children to see it. A double swirled set of metal “wave” walls with a fiberglass blue top creates an ocean like stormy swell. It is called Tempest, and at night it is usually lit up with LED’s so the blue “water” glows in a black sky. I loaded the 4 older children up last night with head lamps and we went for a walk in the forest at night. They loved it. We found the tempest, unlit. We sat in the middle of the spiral and watched the Bible video “Jesus Calms the Tempest.” The kids shared ideas and pondered what their personal storms are and it was a powerful mothering moment to be able to remind them that the Savior never leaves our boat. We can cry out, “wake up! Don’t you care that I’m dying?” But we are never really alone, and our faith, when exercised, is enough to find peace.
We also walked along to find the rest of the art on the north trail, and sat at the buckyball until 9:45 because it’s summertime and we can.
