0 Comments

 
Our practice of sharing a little love, hope & prayer with y'all.
This week with Elder Naomi!

Elder Naomi references artist (and extended MAMily) Mariah West in her meditation.
You can find Mariah's beautiful artwork at www.mariahwest.com.

Art and Meditation by Mariah West:
​
2020 is the year of layers.
I’ll call it The Onion Year.
Lots of layers are being shed by all of us. There are many things we are being called to let go of, so that new life can emerge in us. It is a time of radical shifts and transformations!
​
This is a funky little piece using onion skins (nature’s prime example of layers!) to represent our collective and individual layer-shedding that is presently occurring.
This could be a playful little reminder of our invitation to shed what is unneeded right now.

Painted on a 5x7 acrylic board. Super easy to put in a frame.
If it makes you smile, or inspires you on your layer-shedding journey, this one is for you!
The world doesn’t need more Hobby Lobby art. It needs weird art. The kind that calls you back to yourself.
Psalm 91
​

You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honor them.
With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
