Inspiration and Grace

My sweet kiddos,
Saturday morning we packed into the car and headed to Grace Cathedral to see "Graced With Light." 

Grace Cathedral describes this as :

Graced With Light

As a part of 100 Years of Music at Grace Cathedral, visual artist Anne Patterson created Graced With Light, a stunning, music-inspired installation that incorporates Grace Cathedral’s vaulted ceiling arches and video projection. Ms. Patterson envisioned a series of light pathways, connecting heaven and earth, manifest as ribbons. The ribbons carry our prayers, dreams and wishes skyward, and, in turn, grace streams down the ribbons to us. The video projection component runs daily from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. and until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, during Yoga on the Labyrinth. The projected video was created by artist, projection designer, and filmmaker Adam Larsen.
 
Graced With Light is constructed of nearly 20 miles of ribbon, and has been hand-assembled by Ms. Patterson and the Grace Cathedral community. 

I love that members of the community wrote their prayers, dreams and wishes, which travel to the sky and grace streams down on us.

The experience was inspiring, soulful, almost magical.
 I was walking up the isle and saw you Anna.  
You were kneeling in prayer and then looking up at the huge altar. 
You looked so sweet there by yourself.
 Ummmm.  Mr. Hudson. We need to have a few words about church behavior.
Your behavior was much better than Christmas Eve, but the bar was low.
 My sweet angelic Taylor.
 There are no words to describe the beauty in this.  
The light in the cathedral is so beautiful.  Hudson, while you would not sit still, I love this photo.

 More prayers.  

We loved this explanation card.  

All in all, it was a magical start to a VERY long day.
xoxo
