Dear Friends,
The Psalmist speaks of the meditation of the heart. Our hearts are continually invited to meditate on the many gifts of God in the beauty of the earth, the warmth of human community and the work of God's Spirit within us.
This week I invite you to focus your meditation of heart on the new mosaic artwork in the Westminster Commons. We'd love to hear what speaks to you from this beautiful mosaic and what meditation of the heart comes to you as you look upon it.
Ian, Tilman and I brought forward our meditations about our faith and that of the Montview community when we began working with the artist on design. Kathy Thaden, the artist, brought her meditation of heart and hand in creating the piece. Now that it is complete, we want to come full circle and ask you to consider the piece and share your thoughts, impressions and meditation of heart. A journal will be placed on the shelf below the mosaic, if you'd like to write about what you see in the piece.
Or, reply to this e-mail with your thoughts and we'll make them available to all who are interested in sharing these meditations of heart. Tell us what symbols you see in the piece, what it says to you, what meaning you find as you consider it.
We hope that the piece draws you in as you are drawn into the Montview community of faith. Though it is not the same as seeing it in person, we've included a photograph here in case you are not able to get to church. We look forward to your meditation and reflection
With blessings,
Cindy
