Dear Creative Friend, We are taking a break to renew and rejuvenate our creative spirits. We hope you are too! We hope you take time to return home to yourself
and allow expressive arts to rejuvenate you. You might also spend time in nature, with family, friends, processes and experiences that you enjoy. We offer this poem from John O'Donohue as inspiration this week: For Belonging May you listen to your longing to be free. May the frames of your belonging be generous enough for your dreams. May you arise each day with a voice of blessing whispering in your heart. May you find
a harmony between your soul and your life. May the sanctuary of your soul never become haunted. May you know the eternal longing that lives at the heart of time. May there be kindness in your gaze when you look within. May you never place walls between the light and yourself. May you allow the wild beauty of the invisible world to gather you, mind you, and embrace you in belonging. O'Donohue, J. (2008). To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings. Convergent Books. If you would like to offer images and words that arrive for you, we would love to witness you in our private Facebook group. If you are a new member, we look forward to welcoming you. There are a couple of questions for you to answer when you request to join. |
