Before I even get into today’s newsletter I just want to share how powerful the student movement of protestors is and how we are witnessing such a huge mobilization for Palestine in our lifetime is a miracle. For as painful as what we see in Gaza I feel heartened to see so many on the front lines, participating in jail support, redistributing money to bail funds, sending in supplies, checking in on each other.
I am only four days in to my daily prayer project but it is already rooting me in to staying in touch with the work at hand. Faith without works is dead so we must take action and prayer can be a part of that.
Here is the link to support the encampment at my alma mater The University of Michigan - so many places to pay attention to and support right now, find something that touches in to your history and your heart and put your attention there.
I have gone through the original book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron two times - both times with the accountability of a public group. We may be seeing a theme this week - doing things in public or with others gets things done.
It would have been an easy lift to host the classic version again for a book club, but when I picked up the new six week version at a bookstore in Jackson, MS I knew that I had to read it and that I wanted to read it with others.
The new version integrates more than daily morning pages and weekly artist dates. It includes twice a week silent solo walks (no dogs!) and her newest tool : Writing for Guidance - the practice of asking a question and journaling about what we hear.
I have been walking a lot lately so I am looking forward to integrating this more the next six weeks. As well as receiving new lessons in unblocking creatively.
We start reading the new Artist Way book for Book Club TOMORROW May 5 for all paid subscribers of this newsletter and our first check in is Friday May 10 with our first zoom Sunday May 12.
