Creative Days

Each day for 50 days (Easter to Pentecost 2020) a different creator (artist, painter, sculptor, poet, song-writer, crafter) produced a new creation in response to the previous days creation. Each creator only saw what they are responding to when it appeared here and had about 24 hours to produce a response.

A Poem and Blessing for Creative Days Like a child you call us to come Liek a child you encourage us to be If we hold the doors of our heart open to you Childlike, we can be free Free of the worries that come with our age Free of expectation, baggae and fear Lord you draw us into your arms The minute we, freely, draw near Peace, like a sleeping babe, be with you Peace, like a satisfied child, be with you Peace, like an adult building sandcastle as the tide rolls in, knowing this moment is all that matters, be with you Amen

If I could walk with you, Touch your skin, Brush my fingers through your beard, Smell your carpenter sweat, Hear your words in my ears. If I could walk with you: Down local paths, Past the goats behind the church; Or walk the Sorrowful Wal; By your side to Emmaus. If I could walk with you Then I might know what it is to love (and be loved by) god.

Day 10 (21-Apr-2020): ‘Imaginary Landscape’ by Ange Droz
A long time ago I decided to look up. I decided to trust. I decided to follow. Today I decide to look up once again, but as I do the complexity of life, the mysteries, questions and wondering also causes me to look inwards. I decide to stop, I decide to breathe, I decide to rest in the chaos. I decide to embrace the emotion, The confusion, the fear. I decide to take control, whilst in the same space make the decision to acknowledge I have none.

> The Rules

  1. At approximately 7pm each day a new creation was posted here and on the broken church facebook page and twitter.
  2. Someone (pre arranged) will had about 24 hours to produce a response to the previous day’s creation.
  3. The response was be produced and received by the broken church by about 6pm the following day, uploaded here ready for the next person.
  4. All creations had to be free of vulgar imagery and words (challenging our thinking is good, pushing boundaries is fine, but aim for family friendly*).

Creations could take the form of a sketch, painting, song, short film**, story, poem, photograph, knitting, dance, piece of music, crochet or just about anything. Many were produced by a established artists, others an informal crafter. They are all the creators own work with permission to publish.

*The Broken Pastor had the final say and would not publish anything he wouldn’t want his kids to see.

**Any film or video will need to be hosted elsewhere (e.g. YouTube) and a link provided.
