Art journal week 33 Spiritual

week33SpritualSml

Week 33 for the ukstampers challenge is Spiritual:

  • are you a spiritual person, what do you believe, are you a work in progress?
  • use a quote on your page
  • stamp some symbols that have meaning to you on your page

What a big subject to tackle – I am basically a spiritual person (I believe every one is to some extent) but do I believe in one particular religion over others? – well no.  I take the bits out of various religions that I like and that I think help make me a better person in some way. Actually I don’t know that much about any religion, so I am a work in progress. Is that hedging my bets – maybe?  I am however drawn to this symbol and whether it is called yin yang or Dao or Tao I like what it stands for and instead of using a quote I have included the three jewels of the Dao: Compassion, moderation and humility.
