I haven't blogged for ages, well over two weeks and that's a long time for me, this has partly been due to moving house and the chaos and exhaustion it brings, and if I'm honest partly because I've been spiritually drained for a number of reasons. Today though has been a reminder that creativity brings me life, today we got around to beginning to bring order to what will be a creative/prayer space and a spare bedroom when needed. In that room were a collection of boxes containing fabrics, candles, paints, pens, pastels, music books, icons, pictures of various types, art books, paper of all kinds, prayer books, incence burners, and general creative stuff.
Some of that stuff has been packed away in files and folders and I've haven't looked at it for months, some for even longer. Some of the boxes contained prayer journals reminders of the ebb and flow of my spiritual life...
And while the room currently looks like something has exploded in it, it gives me hope, this evening we have moved shelves around, some are filled and some are not, we want to put a table in there for painting/drawing and a sofa bed and chair. I've found my music stands and guitar stand so they will have a place too. We'll put pictures on the walls find room for a music system too...
And it will probably not be the neatest room in the house, but that's OK...
