Wednesday, January 21, 2026 Commonplace Tiny Art

One minute I was thinking, “I’ll put some commonplace book quotes on my blog” and the next minute it was the next day. So today will be a combo Tuesday/Wednesday blog post in which you will read interesting things and look at my usual display of mediocre art.

However much you deny the truth,
the truth goes on existing.
George Orwell

That’ll preach.

Age appears to be best in four things:
old wood is best to burn
old wine to drink
old friends to trust, and
old authors to read.
Francis Bacon

I can’t believe that FB forgot to mention cheese in that list.

Earth’s crammed with heaven,
and every common bush afire with God,
but only he who sees takes off his shoes;
the rest sit round and pluck blackberries.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Earth’s crammed with heaven…I’m savoring that one.

The more I study science,
the more I believe in God.
Albert Einstein

That’ll preach, too.

The ultimate aim is not to escape anxiety,
but to allow it to usher us into
the healing presence of Jesus Christ.
CH Spurgeon

That’s a good one to think of in the night seasons when anxieties do their best haunting.

And now, the Return of Tiny Art!

Ha ha – I just realized it looks like I wrote “The LADYBUG fakes a NAP…” which is quite droll. Let’s pretend that I meant to write it that way.

What does your cup runneth over with?

I’ll probably runneth this post over in the morning.
