INVITATION TO POETRY & PHOTOGRAPHY: SACRED ORDINARY 22.5.14

Welcome to Poetry Party #78!

Christine Valters Paintner of Abbey of the Arts online, selects an image (the photo above is by member Anneclaire LeRoyer) suggests a theme/title and invites us to respond with our own poem and images. 

How might you bring reverence to an ordinary moment of your day through the gift of poem-writing? How might you see the sacred in the mundane? ..to yield to the sacred in the most ordinary of moments. {click to tweet}

Or...

For this month's Photo Party~ hold these words in your heart as you go about in the world to receive images in response. As you walk be ready to see what is revealed to you as a visual expression of your prayer.

You can share images you already have which illuminate the theme, but I encourage you also to go for a walk with the theme in mind and see what you discover.

You are also welcome to post photos of any other art you create inspired by the theme.  See what stirs your imagination!

CREATIVE WRITING: POETRY CHALLENGE Week 1 [MAKING MANIFEST] 7.5.14

* I admit this enthusiasm forms an integral part  of the current writing adventure I'm pursuing. An online FB group of members from various world locations,
practicing the discipline of creative writing  with host, Sandra Heska King, Dave Harrity, and his book,
MAKING MANIFEST:
 On Faith, Creativity, and the Kingdom at Hand
* Each day's prompt follows excellent contemplative thoughts to inspire and inspirit a deeper self revelation that challenges thought and creativity -
new ways of seeing and being  - then an exercise to draw deeply from the inner well.
* Our final day of this first week culminated in a prompt to  create 10 lines of poetry.
Ten lines from words we'd created during the week's writing. Words that had spoken some deeper heart revelation. In the spirit of carrying
'the spirit of the child into old age', here's my response to the title given us ~ *  'Awakening'
You speak with clarity of thought, word, heart that threefold cord braided to understanding revelation discernment Spirit's clarity
*   Appreciation to Sandra Heska King for initiating, hosting the group, and keeping us focused with creative daily posts. To Dave Harrity for inspiring with his intrepid spirit ~ challenging our creativity, enlarging our perspectives, inspiriting our faith
~ Thank You! * Pick up your copy of Dave Harrity's book if you're a creative  looking for exceptional writing challenges and deeper life revelation .
