And, in the beginning there was nothing.
My mind was formless and empty.
And darkness was over the surface of the deep
Yet, my spirit was hovering over the waters
And,
As I threw the switch, I said “let there be light”
and there was light,
and it was good.
And I called it light.
And
When there was not light I called it darkness, because it was dark.
And,
In the vault that was my brain I created space, I created vastness, I created a void.
A canvas, if you will, blank, full of the light and the darkness.
And,
Then I said, let my spirit expand, let my spirit create, let my spirit flow, into that void.
Let my spirit begin begin to fill that vastness, and, I called that, imagination.
And, it was so.
And my spirit grew and from my imagination flowed words, and shapes and sounds and ideas and colors
And it was good
And I said,
Let my imagination teem with colors,
let all the colors fly through my mind and let there be shapes and forms of every kind.
And it was good
and I blessed them and said “Be fruitful and increase in numbers and fill the sea, the earth and the sky of my mind with your beauty”
And it was good.
And I said, “Let those shapes and colors, sounds and ideas have form, let them move,
let them undulate, let them meld, twist and turn.
Let them have no logic, nor make sense, let them fill my brain
Then I said
From these images welling out of my soul, let me create…..things.
I will use words, I will use colors and materials of every kind and I will create.
And that which I create will be in the image of my soul.
And, I will bless my creations and say unto them, “Be fruitful, fill the earth with joy, so that others may see the light of creation.”
That others may be inspired to see their souls and show themselves to the world.
And then,
I opened my eyes, my ears. I let my nose be filled with smells and my body feel.
And with every thing I felt, and saw and heard and smelled
I said “all that will be yours, all this will nourish your soul.
All this will breathe life into your imagination.
With this, let your spirit soar, expand and multiply.
Let your spirit fill the void and then you will become one with the vastness.
And then, you will feel peace
And that will be good.
Can I hear an Amen?
