Smile #9

Prayer. It may be an old fashioned idea but we all have a need for spiritual nourishment; for communion with the Divine. There are many ways to achieve this - from solitary, peaceful activity such as meditation to intense, frenzied activity like drumming or chanting. I try to attend some form of worshipful service about once a month. Today, I felt the need for ritual and pageantry and so attended a High Mass in the Church of England. The beautiful window on the left is called the Sheffield Window as it used to reside at St. Clement's Church in Sheffield, England. Having managed to survive two German bombing raids during the Second World War, it now adorns All Saint's Church in Ainslie, Canberra, Australia.
