This morning I took a look at my birch forest spirit art piece. I have been meditating on the spirit of the forest in the mornings. As I looked at the drawing, I found it much easier to meditate on the spirit of the forest. New depths of connection and meaning were revealed to me as I meditated on the piece.

What I understand now is that when an artwork is created through sacred ritual, as this piece was, it can become an object of meditation.

This makes the description of what I do– sacred ritual artist– come even more to life.

I have produced a set of meditation cards with photos of nature. I have loved the process. This is truly what I love to do.

When we create art through sacred ritual, it becomes the basis for meditation.
