When we went into the first coronavirus lockdown, my focus shifted. Previously, contemplative prayer was underpinning my life, and I had also been making art as a way of processing what was happening in the world. Now, contemplative prayer has taken over as that way of processing and connecting at a deep level with the world and its anguish.
I’d been writing material on my artist, writer, consultant blog about my prayer and spirituality, but was increasingly been feeling that I wanted to write more, but that it didn’t sit right with the rest of the content there. I have therefore started this new blog devoted to contemplative prayer and spiritual life, explorations in theology and Bible, and the like. I have transferred over much of the relevant material.
On the other hand, it is impossible to drive a wedge between prayer and world. For example, the Attentiveness category on the artist, writer, consultant blog is really a euphemism for prayer as engagement with creation, and many of my Articles are on related subjects or at least have a theological underpinning. There’s also some poetry, and sermons and lectures related to the environment. I have chosen to keep these posts there as they represent key aspects of my work.
