Hildegard de Bingen wrote, "Every creature is a glistening, glittering mirror of divinity." May the divinity in each of us and in and through all of creation hold the sorrows and joys of the community.
How did you come to discover Creation Spirituality?
I'm an artist who discovered creation spirituality through making art. To understand my own artistic process, a began blogging. Blogging led me to an intense examination of mystical texts and how they related to the creative process. Eventually this path led me to the writings of Matthew Fox where I immediately felt I had found a home.

New Post on Meinrad Craighead
I have a new post on my blog about artist and mystic Meinrad Craighead.
Sybil, I am continually inspired by your blogs. There is such a wealth of observations there, I have been taking in your site a bit at a time. What amazing life (and near death) stories you have! I am also so excited about your book about medieval art materials. Congratulations on bringing so much together. You are such a treasure. Peace, Mary
I am blessed by knowing you were inspired by how your art moved me. Continue to be the Divine channel that you are and the inspiration will pour through. I would like to say I am a writer but I had rather say that I am learning how to get out of the way and flow down that slow river that is full of life and adventure. I don't need a paddle and I don't need a rudder. Probably not even a boat. If I drown then I am just more a part of it. Many blessings, Lamar
I went to your blog pages and your art really moves me. It is so stark and contrasting. Its like dry bones that are still alive... never to die. Its like a penetration into the nothingness of the psyche ... always crying out in sorrow and joy for the sorrow that belongs to the longing for more of God in the soul. Its like knowing that the real wisdom lies in that eternal state of no thing. Just emptiness into ecstasy. Thank you for sharing your heart with the world.
Primitive statues for ritual of fertility and falling angels. Your art contains legends and mythology of womenhood. I have read your story about your illness and your strenght to overcome your disease. Your are a remarquable woman.
Thank you Sybil for your blog about Jill Bolte Taylor's. It is a marvelous insight. I am interested by death as a door to eternity and I believe in reincarnation. Your art is voluptuous, alive and earthy.
