REBELLIOUS VARIATIONS

Get into the groove: Add some Audio Divina to your gazing, recycling yesterday’s kirtan hits or a favorite track from your music collection.

Art immersion: Head out to an art museum. Give yourself permission to spend an obscene amount of time in front of any single piece. You may even vicariously impact those around you to slow down (and get a bonus chat from that nice security guard).

Go outrageously orthodox: Check out local religious stores or scour Etsy for a classically-styled icon. On a recent trip to Greece, I visited a studio. Passing by Jesus, Mary, and an inexhaustible pile of saints, I found one of my favorite badasses: Mary Magdalene. Clearly, I’ve overcome any early Protestant icon angst, as she sits on a shelf in my writing den.

Make it personal: Draw or paint your own sacred image. Consider people who have been influential in your life. New Mexico iconographer Fr. William Hart (“Bill”) McNichols includes in his portfolio contemporary saints such as LGBTQ+ movement inspiration Matthew Shepard and peace activists Philip and Daniel Berrigan. And very close to home (actually in my house), Sean Bowen creates figurative pop-art portraits of iconic people who have influenced his own journey, including Black Elk, Bob Dylan, and Martin Luther King Jr. (And he painted me a damn fine Princess Leia that I like to pretend is my portrait.)
