Para meus amigos de língua portuguesa, aqui está meu conto de Natal brasileiro em seu idioma.

Por David Brazzeal English version can be found here. O pastor grisalho limpa o suor de sua testa. “Em resumo: manteremos as coisas do mesmo jeito do ano passado, ‘tá bom? A programação de Natal será́ na véspera do Natal às 20h, as crianças farão sua programação, o coral poderá́ cantar algumas músicas e as senhoras devem trazer comida para nossa Ceia de Natal juntos em congregação.” Mário…

During COVID times I made quite a few grass labyrinths in public parks here in South Florida. I only got chewed out once because what I thought was a public park was owned by a rather crusty old man who seemed to enjoy yelling at me to keep off his grass.

For the past few days I’ve been engaged in a very fun creative project. It’s a labyrinth for an off-Art Basel event in Wynwood, Miami. The other day I tested it out in our church basement. It is the first one that I’ve made from fake leaves. I’ll make the real installation on Dec 1. http://www.guerrillalabyrinths.com #labyrinth #labirinto #labyrinthe #artbaselmiami

Welcome to November!Welcome to NaNoWriMo!Or National Novel Writing Month Although it was conceived to encourage young writers to write, this old writer wants to accept their challenge this year. You see, I’ve had a middle grade kid’s novel brewing in my head for about 15 years. Recently I turned up the heat by tweaking the plot, fleshing out character profiles and developing back stories but…

This Rumi quote is going to become my theme, not for just this year, but for the next several years. You see, my world has been slowly clicking upside down for the past 10 years, ever since my wife’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It has gradually led me to re-think the principle expression of my spirituality as it has become more about care-giving and compassion. So without knowing it, I followed the…

It’s Good, it’s Solid; and it’s Fresh

“I’m not usually looking for originality or novelty in a book on prayer. This one gives a fresh look, again and again, and in many ways. It’s good, it’s solid; and it’s fresh. I recommend this highly.” — David, Amazon Review

My Hope for the Book

It is my hope that this book will help move your spiritual life in a new direction, that it will help to redefine “praying” for you in the same way that living in France has changed my definition of eating. May it expand your prayer palette so your soul becomes accustomed to new tastes and textures. May it invite you on the adventure of mastering ancient exotic recipes from yet unexplored realms…

A Brazilian Christmas Tale

A Brazilian Christmas Tale by David Brazzeal The gray-haired pastor wiped the sweat from his brow. “So, in summary, we’ll keep things just as they were last year, ‘ta bom?  The Christmas program will be on Christmas Eve at 20:00, the children will do their program, the choir can sing a few songs and the ladies should bring food for our Christmas meal together as a congregation.” Mario tried to…
