City Church has this special ministry called "Open Forum." And tonight it was a conversation with artist, Makoto Fujimura at the DeYoung Museum. It was the artist's reflections on September 11th. He lived three blocks from ground zero and his studio is 9 blocks. I'm once again reminded to stop and reflect before moving on from something. An event that he had with another japanese artist after the terror was this idea of a Japanese Tea Room. It was a place of "shalom" as he called it, a place for dialogue, for learning and an exchange of ideas over tea. A place for someone to express themselves, to engage and to process what they've gone through, what God has taught them. I think people need that. I especially think I need that.
