The side of an abandoned home that is falling apart reads, "I was six when I saw that everything was God, and my hair stood up and all that. It was on a Sunday, I remember. My Sister was only a very tiny child then, and She was drinking her milk, and all of a sudden I saw that she was God and the milk was God. I mean, all she was doing was pouring God into God, if you know what I mean."

Paperweave with multicolors on the last page of an art journal, accented with shapes of trees and the moon. Excerpts taken from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice are arranged on top: “The truth will come to light.” “The devil can cite Scriptire for his purpose” “… leisure answers leisure…” “… a good divine…” “… speechless messages…” Inside cover adjacent to last page has torn images of a sacred heart and immaculate heart.

Morals, honer, and love for God and country

This one put me in a quandary. I found this sign crumpled and only half-visible in the hedge behind where it lays here. For my found words project, is it cheating to move it? Ethical dilemmas...

Omaha, NE. February 2026.

A weathered sign with handwritten text reads, "All I Want is for Morals, Honer [misspelled], and Love For God and Country to be Real Again!"
