Ministerial Miscellany August 2024 by Rev. Annie Kopko
It is interesting to me to think that we are involved in the art of our lives every day and somehow forget to acknowledge our own creativity and the importance of art in our lives. From the art and craft on our breakfast table to the colors of the clothes we decide to wear, the design of the cars we drive off in to go to work and to the work itself, we are setting forth a great stream of creative consciousness.
All this expressive flow of energy fulfills a need deep within us to creatively express life in and with everything around us and to continually communicate energetically with our environment. This really happens at a subconscious level. So as we bring this process to present consciousness, we recognize the power of our creativity and the true beauty and spirit that we move around in and create in every day. “Art is the mediator of the divine.” These words were shared in an Interfaith Roundtable Forum recently, and I realized this is the outpouring of communication from God into all of our lives, and we are all being Spirit continually. The more we become aware of this, the richer and more healing our daily lives can be.
Watch how music is the Art and Spirit of our lives in these August events. See our website for more information at: https://interfaithspirit.org
