I came across a couple of powerful pieces by Sergio Barrale on a recent post on Supersonic, part of an series entitled Our Private Religion. He has this to say about religion: “To me, religion is just feelings that guide us and inform our choices in the world…" I like that there is the idea of a private world, as well as a sense that it is shared with others. Related to this, last summer I discovered Georgiana Houghton, a spiritual medium of the late 19th Century. I visited The Courtauld Institute Gallery to see her Spirit Drawings. Meticulous and ethereal, the automatic drawings were each said to be guided by a group of spirits, whose names were listed in spidery script on the back of the canvas. Finally, on the same subject, Poetry Foundation's featured poem this week was "Faith" by David Baker.
REFLECT: What forces move you in your inner world? How do you want to make more space for these forces and express them in your life? CREATE: Get out some markers, colour pencils or paints and create an automatic drawing. Close your eyes while drawing or colouring, or let your hand be guided by your favorite music or meditation.
