ink drawing + prayer ca 1989

It has been a long time since I have been an active member of a faith community; but in the 1980s I was a member of an Episcopal congregation in NYC and at the time I created this artwork for the parish's newsletter.

 

The prayer is by Frederick Buechner, an ordained Presbyterian minister and author. I struggle alot with my wacked out sleeping/waking cycle. So this prayer has special meaning for me. I am glad that I have rediscovered it.

 

I think that I used a sumi brush for this drawing, but I can't really remember.... My handwriting of the prayer has much more delicate lines, but the scanner was not sensitive enough to reproduce it properly. I probably used a fine point Pilot pen for the prayer. (Nothing special.) I drew/painted/wrote on gray paper.
