Spirit Book #13: Hope Offering and Spirit Book #27: Absorbed Prayer
Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord, USA
Books are intimate; they welcome personal encounters. Books are humble; they fulfill their potential closed as well as open. Books have depth; even the simplest forms are rich with the possibilities of endless variation. Books have spirit; they are dwelling places for our thoughts and dreams.
I wrote this in 1988 when I first started making books. It expressed what drew me to the form and it still holds true for me today. In 1992 I made the first Spirit Book combining my love of the book and my response to the natural world that we see and the invisible one that lies behind it. Spirit Book #13: Hope Offering and Spirit Book #27: Absorbed Prayer are pictured on the bookmark. A book about the Spirit Books will be published in the fall of 2014.
