To bring words and
imagines together is to enrich both, both the prayers and the
pictures had a simplicity about them which gives plenty of space for
your our thoughts and reactions to take shape. I mostly took just one
at a time to allow depth of encounter. Some were a figurative
response to the ideas of the prayer, others more abstract. Some of
the prayers had a liturgical feel, others were more loose, starting
points for meditation.
Although this book
is sub-titled “Visual prayers and poems for Lent” I am not sure I
found anything especially Lenten about it. It arrived at the start
of May, and I worked my way through in it over the next few weeks,
and although this was Easter it didn't seem too out of season.
