Love Grows Here

My sunflower is ready to bloom!

Yesterday, I read something that made me wake up a wee bit.
The thought of the reading was what if it is not about letting stuff out but rather letting something in - let love in.
Simple. Let love in! The rest takes care of itself.

"The healing we so desperately seek may already

be embedded within the wound itself."

-Wayne Muller, Learning to Pray

Thankful

Thankful for the things that grow deeper.

Thankful for the things that grow closer.

Thankful for the things that grow away.

Also, my Prayer Draw for today.

Another Prayer Draw

Jennifer of One True Self asked about my marker and paper preference.
Just this past Monday I treated myself to the multi-pack of PaperMate Flair markers. I hadn't had any since I was a kid. I remember getting frustrated with them because I would try to color with them; finding the marker beginning to eat the paper. Well, it is still true...so I recommend you keep these markers to line drawing only.
And I love HP's Injet Bright White printer paper. It is truly white and weightier than copy paper.
Together, they make a wonderful pair.
But really, any marker or paper will do if you want to try putting color and image to your meditation/prayer.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.

Prayer Draw - 8.5 x 11 inches. Drawing my prayers: relaxing and invigorating.
I was inspired by the quote, my natural inclination, and a book called Praying in Color.
Sadly, I donated the book to the library but I think I am okay without it. Click the image to see a wee bit more detail.
