50 Days-2013 Call?

50 Days - Art as spiritual discernment
2013 : Call?

Salvation secured, yeah universalism, what is the call of my life within this world?
Do you have a call? Does a community? Does the earth?

     Yearly I challenge myself, and others, to reflect in creative ways on a religious question during Eastertide (the 50 days after Easter). This year - what is my call? In the words of the Rev. David Bumbaugh:          What do I believe?
          Who do I serve?
          To whom or to what am I responsible?
     For me this is a spiritual practice centered on engaging the world and religion through art. The specificity of this attention allows me to deepen my understanding of my relationship with Gd, with the world, with others, with myself. (Not necessarily in that order.) Frankly, looking for answers ensures that I will wrestle with this question. I am not looking for a specific answer but I know that through the intention of looking I will find many possibilities.

    And maybe, just maybe, I will be transformed by insight and relationship found with and in the world around me. At least that is my silent prayer as anything that pulls me deeper into my relationships is a blessing.

    It would be great to hear from all of you as well!!!! I am a firm believer that together we can do more than any one of us on our own. If you would like to join me in this quest - just send me your own creations/answers during Eastertide (April 1 - May 19). I will post them along with my own responses.

    Remember that you are not limited to any particular medium - write / draw / sing / dance / spray paint / collage / snap a photo - do anything that makes your heart full and alive with the possibility of potential!

    Our creations and a list of locations will go up on facebook and a blogspot page for others around the city to enjoy & ponder (the address can be a guestimate).

Peace and all good things from the bounty of faith -
Karen
