Shine the Divine: Creativity IS a Spiritual Practice: Entwined

Entwined

vines

entwined

against gray sky

sun-kissed berries

await small birds

to alight upon

these tangled

lines

linking to:

a river of stones

Looking for elegant black and white images?

Believe it or not, down here in Dallas, Texas we're enjoying a sunny day that will likely see temps up in the 60's. By tomorrow it will be a high in the 30's and they're predicting snow. (a rare treat for us - especially the kids - though not our drivers - scary!) Your images are so breathtaking. Have you ever thought of publishing a book? Love and light, Jill

Bright Sparks:

Remnants

Before the eMeS, my now constant companion begged me to stay close to home, I taught art, yoga and meditation to Jewish teens in the Greater Boston area. The collage series in the slide show above was created using forgotten paper scraps that slipped between the cracks of the tables onto the floor, from an Art as a Sacred Practice class I taught to High School students several years ago. My intention was to find the intrinsic value in each remnant. Often the beauty of an individual person goes unrecognized or unappreciated until it is revealed in the context of a relationship; the same is true of colors, shapes and textures. Click on the images to take a closer look. They are tiny works, some no bigger than 1.5” x 1.5”
