In anticipation of the Mountlake Terrace Freeway Station opening March 20, artists Nancy Chew and Jacqueline Metz check the placement of their ‘tree rings' before the platform concrete pour. Their artwork, called at the stillpoint, includes a cast bronze tree trunk that will rest on the rings and serve as an 18 foot long bench.

I was driving along on a road when I stumbled onto a large mural of St. Francis painted on a wall. That's what invited me to stop. This wall has a door beneath leading to a garden. It was closed when I stopped by, but the chapel sign indicated I could stop in. The Center for Action and Contemplation's bookstore is here, run by Father Richard Rohr. There's also a labyrinth and a Julian of Norwich day hermitage.
The lakes are all frozen over in Beijing, and most seem to have skating areas. At yuyuan lake, you could rent a chair on runners and scoot around on the ice. There were many people of all ages enjoying the good weather.

▶ Dollyhyde Farmhouse Ale (foreground)
"This is a delicate Belgian- style "Patersbier". Straw colored and very light and refreshing with a touch of spice, malt, and fruit from special Stillpoint Farm hops, honey, local wheat and other secret treats! "
4.5% abv (alcohol-by-volume), 20 IBUs (International Bittering Units)
---> Served cask-conditioned via hand-pump.
▶ Stairway IPA (background)
"We tweaked the yeast a little on this one - and we're very happy with it (we nicknamed this one 7th Step!). Malty, full bodied, and perfectly balanced with abundant Stillpoint Farm [Cascade] hops."
6% abv (alcohol-by-volume), 70 IBUs (International Bittering Units).
---> Raisiny and toasted malt characters added a British 'bitter' feel to this strong ale, albeit with a slug of American-style citrusy hops.

Tabernacle at Stillpoint chapel. The sign on the door said: “Please remove your shoes before entering. Our practice is to bow toward the middle on entering and leaving the chapel. The Blessed Sacrament is in the native bowl in the center of the floor. By this we are trying to say that God is the Center, the earth itself is holy, and Jesus is found “at the bottom” and in the ordinary.”
Centering prayer is practiced here twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late afternoon.

I will be having an exhibition of photographs and poetry at the Mildura Writers Festival in July in Australia. The exhibition is the result of an ongoing collaboration with my sister Jillian who is an Australian poet.
The stainless steel rings that radiate out from the log call to mind both the centerpoint of a wave and the growth rings of a tree.
As a counterpoint to this evocative, tactile component is a sleek graphic abstraction of tree rings, narrow bands of stainless steel - a suggestion of a magnificent, even mythic, tree. Together, the sculpture and the rings form a meditation on nature and culture, and on the passage of time.
