Whenever my artist girlfriend is sad I let her draw things on my body.

I gave her a shoulder to crayon.

Did you groan? Send your own.

Sunday reflection:

Great Painter, I come before You, Your humble apprentice.

Thank you for this life. Thank you for the gift of sight. Thank you for the use of my hands. Thank you for the material tools that I use in my trade.

Great Master, please channel through this fragile form Your creative energy. Make it clear to me that I am but a brushstroke in Your Grand Masterpiece that is the universe. Grant me peace of mind and clear it of all uncertainty and fear. Guide my hand as I lay each brushstroke.

Lend me this life just a bit longer until I finish my masterpiece.

Great Master, grant me this opportunity to create so that I may give glory to Your creation.

A Painter's Prayer by L De Guzmán
