Making art, when all else is stripped away, is a form of prayer. It is an act of faith that working is transformational. Artists can construct all kinds of valid reasons for working, but underlying everything is the reviving, healing effect of making art. By tapping into the fundamental goodness of the creative process, more Light flows into and heals the world. To all artists out there, I say your work is important. The results go out into the world to do their own work, we can never truly know what impact may come. That's not an artist's job anyway, it's a distraction. Our job is the process, the act of creation is a prayer to heal the world.
PRAYER
By Humberto Ak'Abal
May the door of the sun be opened,
may the door of the moon be opened.
Let it be clear in the sky,
let it be clear on the earth,
let it be clear in the soul;
so that the light does not let
the darkness take over
and the markings of our road
will remain.
xoxo
