Ksimir Malevich, Russian, 1878 - 1835: The first painter to surrender to the freedom of abstract forms in search of purer emotional expression.

“Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.”
Alfred Adler, February 7, 1870 – May 28, 1937

May we bring our hearts in prayer this week seeking healing for what ails them. May we pray that God meets us there in the midst of our defiance and our fear restoring us, as we are able to allow, to the great truth of our ability to choose freely there to respond for the wholeness or our own lives and the lives of all who come to us seeking care. Amen.
