PHOTO: Mary van Balen Eighteen of us had a wonderful day last Saturday exploring the practice of journaling as a way of prayer. As one participant commented, the “gift of time” is something needed in a lifestyle that has us rushing from place to place without really stopping to notice the people and things that fill our lives. The jeweler’s loupes were a hit. Who knew how beautifully structured and detailed a dragonfly’s body was? Or the geometric patterns of a hemlock cone?
Being present to the moment is essential in all prayer, and together we enjoyed the opportunity to use journaling as a way to foster that. Laughter, conversation, sharing, good food, and lovely surroundings filled the hours. I hope to share the experience again in the coming year!
