Body's in Prayer: "Prayers of Presence"
11"x15" Original Acrylic, mixed media on canvas
This painting is inspired by my sacred contact improvisation dance community….
In the sanctuary of gathered souls, there exists a language older than words. It speaks through the curve of a spine, the weight of trust shared between strangers who have become family, the sacred geometry of bodies choosing tenderness over protection.
Three figures stand in quiet devotion, their forms creating a shelter of presence around their companions below. They have learned the ancient art of holding space—not with their hands, but with their hearts. Their bodies form a living prayer, an offering of witness and care that asks nothing in return.
At the center, two souls have found their way to stillness. In a world that demands constant motion, they have discovered the radical act of rest within community. Their embrace is not possession but sanctuary, not escape but arrival. They sit as if the earth itself has cradled them, knowing they are held by something larger than themselves.
Around them, the cosmos responds. Sacred symbols drift like blessings through the air—ancient codes that have always been there, waiting for hearts open enough to receive them. These are the hieroglyphs of connection, the universal language that appears when human beings remember how to truly see each other.
This is the prayer that bodies offer when they move beyond the need to perform, to prove, to protect. It is the prayer of presence, of showing up fully for one another. It is the prayer that says: in a world of separation, we choose connection. In a time of hardness, we choose softness. In a space of fear, we choose love.
The dance continues, not in movement but in the deeper rhythm of hearts beating in recognition of one another. They have discovered that the most profound prayer is not spoken but lived—written in the tender space between one soul and another, illuminated by the sacred codes that bind all beings together in the vast, loving darkness of existence.
This is how community becomes communion. This is how humans remember they are divine.
