Sunday at Kirkcudbright Art and Crafts trail.

It was a busy day, with three of us working all the time. Since it was so busy, there have been less words written to describe it!

– no rain so we were able to put up the bunting and have the tent fully open with the chairs out. The Haikus were a bit more random, and the syllable rule was not always followed, Nonetheless we had some good conversations.

A highlight of the day was when a person picked up the postcard of part of the Dream of the Rood and I said that this was the poem on the Ruthwell cross. Her eyes lit up and she said she had been christened at the church there! It was a bit spine-tingling for both of us. The labyrinth also provided some people with time and space to reflect, it is a very accessible activity and they were able to use it on their lap whilst sitting on a chair.

CLC Monday the 10th

The vestry at St John’s in Dumfries have decided to pause meeting in the building as a precaution to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19. This means that our CLC group won’t be meeting as planned on the 10th. However, activity has not stopped! This is a meditation prepared by Alison that can be used online by anyone with access to the internet.

Preparation

Have a Bible to hand, and select a piece of art to pray with or a place to pray in (if outside have appropriate clothing available!)

Become still in whatever way suits you. Maybe review the last few weeks since we last met and see what comes to mind.

Reflection

Then Listen to Bifrost Art singing Psalm 46.

Psalm 46 Bifrost Arts

Slowly read Psalm 46 two or three times.

Is there a verse or phrase which leaps out to you?


Remain in the place of your choice or with the object you have chosen and pray or repeat your chosen verse or phrase for as long as you like—maybe 20 minutes.

Response

You might like to respond to your meditation in some way, perhaps with words or a drawing.


You may or may not wish to share your response with the rest of us in the CLC group. If you like you can leave a comment on this page or e-mail a photo to Quartz
