Art of prayer

© Chuck Hoffman / Genesis + Art Studio

FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:

Rain waters the earth, making it bring forth and sprout…. The whole creation is groaning in travail… A sower went out to sow. We are reminded that prayer is not a lifestyle option, or a mechanical technique, but something natural to all creatures, like breathing out and breathing in, like metabolizing our food, like the process of growth which we achieve without knowing how we do it. In moments of crisis, when we feel ourselves on the edge of existence, we reach out to our creator. We do not engineer our growth – in the body or the spirit – but allow God to make us fertile.

Crossing the Frontier

FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:

We have been experiencing genuine and dramatic changes. These tectonic life-shifts have put us on a journey across unfamiliar thresholds to deal with many emotions and new experiences. At times these changes have dragged us into view of the very things we'd tried hard to avoid. We offer our art as an expression of our spiritual practice that explores the healing potential of shape, color and form. By exploring universal themes of life and death, nature and earth, conflict and the redemptive power of love, Crossing the Frontier is a trek into the heart of wisdom and transformation. Without seeing ourselves as we are, we can never see ourselves as we are meant to be.
