Not being a religious person, but nevertheless a person who holds to many of the teachings and ways of being, I sometimes struggle with the word prayer having an overtly religious link.
If however I think about prayer as I think it is used here, as a quiet moment, a gathering of energy, mediation, and connection I can find my way through things much better.
For each act of creativity to be a form of prayer in this way is beautiful. For me it suggests that as we make, if we make with our hearts engaged, the very act of making is a gathering of energy, is a quiet meditation and is seeking connection.
Which I honestly think is true.
This quote is from Jackie Morris' book Feather Leaf, Bark and Stone. A gift from a friend it is one of the most beautiful books on our bookshelf. To be savoured, returned to and dreamt about...
