moodboard, for january and potentially february, but we will see how i feel in a few weeks
i love the blues, reds and greens. i am drawn to these images because they feel representative of the narrative i have taken a step away from due to grief, sickness, december, the fires, etc. i am reminded that it is nourishing to encounter beautiful images and sounds. art and story are so important, especially with temptations to let fear be a force that prevents us from showing up for ourselves and others. companionship is important. prayers will guide me into spring, healing and creation. these images encourage me to spend more time in silence, listening to God and others.
i am eager to create space for a narrative shift for the remainder of winter. i accept the mission to simply show up, through reflection and creation - to see what will come of it.
i read a book i found at the Philosophical Research Society about the Holy Spirit
what stood out to me:
“According to the scriptures the human body is the living temple of the living God. When we turn within ourselves we should all enter a place blessed by the presence of the Most High. This is not possible if our hearts and minds are constantly disturbed, and we fear the phantoms which haunt the subconscious. It is through the sanctification of our psychic content that inner peace is restored. It is not that we would evade the secular obligations which we have assumed, but rather the inner strength to be faithful unto all things. Nourished by the bread of Heaven, we are better prepared to earn our daily bread in the mortal world.“
“As a protection against the ravages of environment we can retire to the enchanted garden of our own souls.”
“The journey back to the heart of God can be lighted only by the star of hope and the weary traveler must support himself by the staff of faith alone. Faith is difficult when we are constantly disillusioned and we lose our respect for the way of life to which we belong.”
it led me to create this prayer
let us encounter at least a few moments each day that remind us of the exhalation of God’s spirit and love in our lives - let a peace fill our hearts, let our minds become quiet and receptive to the blessings and truths that are here in every moment but not always noticed.
revisited an old demo
i want to be sharing more sounds i make even if they are just fragments.
