Someone once said that religion should be more of a love affair. One of my primary spiritual influences is bhakti (devotional) Hinduism and even though I've had to leave anything not Northern Tradition behind when I started my current path, I'm still seeing the dynamics of devotion and relationship where I'm at now.

Worship is an expression of love and can take so many forms; like you, I express my love through art and craft. I don't think they care so much what I create so long as it's created; the process my own heart goes through is also important. It's not subserviance except in the way we are completely subserviant to love and the desire to love.
