a prayer to let go of unnecessary grief (unfinished) $20
the news of the world is weighing me down. Life is So SIMPLE How can all this be happening??????
I need to make Cloths. to remain sane, to comfort myself, to keep showing myself how things REALLY are, to tell my story. I make Cloths too to pay my way. Kind people buy them. But lately, i find self making Cloths i can't bear to sell. And really, there's no need to keep making Cloths to keep. And i look at this which is a prayer in the form of how i have found i can pray. Can you sell prayers?, i wondered? Is that OK?, to sell prayers? Who might buy a prayer? Would I? When i was thinking about praying a week or so ago, would I have jumped at the chance to buy a prayer? .....and then it went from there: I saw a skinny old woman who sells prayers...it brought to mind characters from Gabriel Garcia Marquez novels, 100 Years of Solitude for instance.....skinny old woman sitting at a small table at the market place. Stacks of prayers, baskets full of small ones. They are not labeled. People ruffle through them and finding one that resonates, hold it up. Old woman looks..."for the germination of a seed. 2 dollars" she says. Done deal and the person walks off, the prayer in the palm of their hand. They feel hopefull.
If i sold prayers, I'd have 1/4 of my phone~internet bill in two days.
the potential is enormous. And for the hours i did this this morning, I was able to CARE without aching. I just prayed.
