Antonia "TJ" Cardella • April 22, 2019
Seemed like a nice Spring painting
It is a beautiful spring morning here in Boise today. A perfect time to share this month's artistry by Antonia (TJ) Cardella.
You can learn more about TJ on our Profound Pictures Contributor's tab. She is a regular contributor to this series, where the artist/photographer selects a photo or work of art they have created and consider to be profound. Then the contributor describes why, or simply lets the image speak for itself, as she has done here.
I love TJ's work. It is original. It is completely from her. The art she produces is totally out of her imagination, combined with innate talent and developed skill. These are all de profundis
- out of the depths of who she is.

Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).
Here are some initial thoughts about elegance, nature, and depth; a poem about happiness; and even a haiku.
It takes just a second to break something. Restoring what was broken takes time.
Outcomes are not certain, though some are much more highly predictable than others.
Life is messy. We know that. But some people move through that mess with a surprising kind of grace.
“The poor in spirit are by no means poor-spirited. They are persons who see so much to be, so much to do, such limitless reaches to life and goodness that they are profoundly conscious of their insufficiency and incompleteness.” ~Rufus Jones, The Inner Life , p. 19
