The Occupy Movement and Spirituality

[cesara]

I was doing my morning online news check and found these great pictures of sacred spaces and different spiritual expression at the different Occupy encampments and thought it would be nice to share....

Actually, it was Hassan who first pointed out an article on a Muslim wedding that was peformed at Occupy....then I found the rest of the images....very cool.....it includes an image or two from the wedding, a sukkah or two, meditation areas, prayer areas and more.

Well even a little bitty library. That's really nice they have that time to read. I'd like a tent with some meditation beads. But I would never have time to enjoy it. Because I have to work so damn much....

Wow, cesara, thanks for sharing that.

For whatever reason, the sukkahs in particular really touched me.

Thanks for sharing!

You know, when I first heard about this, I really hoped that the religious communities would play a major part. The whole helping the poor and the sick should always be your main focus, what ever your religion is.

I'm miserable when I don't make time for my spiritual side.....but that's just me.
