Today, we have been adding the brown parts to our mosaic picture, to remind us of the boat in the Gospel story. Brown might seem a boring, rather dull colour at first, but when we think about it, we realise it is the colour of the earth, in which everything grows. It is also the colour of the cross on which Jesus died because he loved us.
 
 
In our Gospel story, Jesus told the disciples to go off on their own, to have some rest and peace and quiet. So many people followed that they sailed away in a boat, to try to be by themselves. Some of us have written our worries on our boat. We give them to God.
 
 
A painter called Mark Rothko made some huge pictures which at first seem blank, brown and without interest. But people sit for hours to look at them. If they take the time, they find out things about themselves and their lives and feelings, in the changes and shades of the paint on the canvas.
