Japan - prayer and art journaling

Been watching the news and the horrific images coming from Japan. Somehow it all came out of me last night when I sat down with my art journal. I've been to Tokyo - and the Japanese people are wonderful. My niece, who is a flight attendant for Delta, is there right now, 2 days in Tokyo, 1 day in Guam, 1 day in Tokyo. She was called to fly right after the earthquake and tsunami hit. I'm scared for her. The crew is bunking together and there is no food or water at the hotel. Scary stuff with the radiation thing happening on top of it. So, it's with all of this brewing in me that I sat down to a fresh journal, a blank page and poured my thoughts out...my admiration for the Japanese people when faced with unbelievable circumstances and how their dignity prevails. The silly news stories that are getting ridiculous when politics come into play on the issue. Just the whole thing. I prayed for these people as I journaled, really focused my thoughts and prayers on them. Somehow, it helps me to know that in my own small, little way, maybe I am helping them.

This is a wonderful journal page. I'm glad you responded to my discussion post and I hope others will also create pages with Japan in mind...the energy of healing is powerful and if we put prayer energy into our art..well, miracles happen! I have a blog too. I am going to follow yours to continue to see what you're up to, your art is lovely! Perhaps you'll feel inclined to do the same and follw mine? I have a Masters in Education and taught for some time. Now I am a grandma and exhibiting mixed media artist. My blog is: http://www.mixthemedia247.blogspot.com
