I watched an interesting documentary about the Shakers recently. I'd always admired their well-known furniture style and architecture, but I didn't know much about the spiritual background. I've been reading around the subject and it's quite fascinating. I wrote a brief article about the links between Shaker spirituality and craftsmanship, which you are most welcome to read at Writespirit.net. I hope you find it inspiring.
"Where is Heaven,
If not in the serenity of the mind,
Purity of the heart
And simplicity of the life?"
