It's a full week since prayingproject began, a work-week since it ended, and the energy is still building. Exit Art put up a slide show on the site today -- just scroll down til you see prayingproject on the lower right hand side, click and enjoy. It's an amazing record of the three days we spent together in art prayer. Intimate, and all inclusive, a virtual experience for those who weren't able to attend, and a moving celebration and connection for those of us who were involved.
I haven't felt this alive since going for my black belt a year ago. A huge personal milestone; physical, spiritual and emotional challenge. But this feels more momentous. Karate keeps my blood pumping. Making art is my blood. So to feel so connected to an idea, and through that idea, to all the individuals who made it happen, is a different type of life-affirming experience.
I remember leaving the last day of the karate promotion, the fight day, completely exhausted and elated at having survived, limping and sore, feeling extremely connected to myself. And also, typical of big event days, a bit let down that it was over.
Though Prayingproject is phyically over, it doesn't feel ended. It feels still within me, and I feel connected to something greater than myself. Something that will continue transforming me in ways I can't yet forsee.
