TOPIC: Coping with the world
11th September 2011
This is a sculpture called "Praying for all, always". This piece is a reminder to me of things that usually get lost in the daily business of living. As if by proxy, this sculpture vigilantly is doing what I don't have the wherewithal or time to do. It is praying for all creatures, 24/7. Someone has to do this! There just seem to be so many things on the brink of disaster or extinction.
I am not even sure what I mean by praying; is it an entreaty to a force as big as the universe? Or, is it actually a call to something inside of me? Something that is unfathomably connected to a powerful source of energy.

By Mary Benson: I really love this piece. I especially love it that his head is facing upwards rather than toward the ground. I like your commentary--yes, yes, someone has to do this!!
