Space to write, space to create and space to let the spirit speak.
Write Now!
This blog started as a 'Lenten Writing Project', where we wrote each day in Lent. Now that Summer is here, let's keep up the discipline of writing with a weekly writing challenge! A prompt will be posted each week and anyone is welcome to join in and post their writing here or participate just by reading it.
Every writer has their own special light to add to this blog and all of your writing offerings are appreciated, whether poetry, prose, essay, thoughts, lists or comments and encouragement.

Creative Process
Genisis has a great account of God's creative process. Re-read Genisis 1 and write a poem, or re-interpretation (from the point of view of God, the animals, etc.) of this creation process. How is your creative process similar? Write about creation.
When God began to watch the whirling storm And saw beyond the empty darkened void, God spoke! And starry dust began to form A world, which filled with life to be enjoyed.
God’s hand enclosed a lump of earth’s new dust. God’s ear imagined melodies of song. God’s fingers formed a human soul: robust, Inspired, created in God’s image, strong.
God’s human creature played in Paradise. And God rejoiced, and saw it all was good. But then! That human mind thought it was wise To go beyond. It heeded not the Word.
God saw it all, and said, “I’ll have to go - Give them new heart, because I love them so.”
Chaos danced around God like a whirling dervish And God choreographed God moved and separated the formless void into earth and sky Waters on the land and waters in the sky as if swiping them into place on a mighty ipad The spirit breathed through God Was God People were created in Gods image To have breath flowing through And create thoughtspictureswordslove In creating they become a microcosm of the original artist Who breathes through them into God’s creation

Whirling Storm
ReplyDeleteWhen God began to watch the whirling storm
And saw beyond the empty darkened void,
God spoke! And starry dust began to form
A world, which filled with life to be enjoyed.
God’s hand enclosed a lump of earth’s new dust.
God’s ear imagined melodies of song.
God’s fingers formed a human soul: robust,
Inspired, created in God’s image, strong.
God’s human creature played in Paradise.
And God rejoiced, and saw it all was good.
But then! That human mind thought it was wise
To go beyond. It heeded not the Word.
God saw it all, and said, “I’ll have to go -
Give them new heart, because I love them so.”
I love the rhythm!

ReplyDeleteChaos danced around God like a whirling dervish
And God choreographed
God moved and separated the formless void into earth and sky
Waters on the land and waters in the sky
as if swiping them into place on a mighty ipad
The spirit breathed through God
Was God
People were created in Gods image
To have breath flowing through
And create thoughtspictureswordslove
In creating they become a microcosm of the original artist
Who breathes through them into God’s creation
I like the word combination - it fits the artistry of it
