For Creativity


Thanksgiving for the Creative Endeavour

In carving the wood; in sculpting the stone;
in forming the clay                   
Your creative Spirit is within us

In painting the canvas; in pressing the print;
in searching for new ways                 
Your creative Spirit is within us

In the landscaping of the garden; in the toiling of earth;
in the arrangement of flowers        
Your creative Spirit is within us

In making the bread we break and share   
Your creative Spirit is within us

In the making of music with instruments or voices    
Your creative Spirit is within us

In creating new worlds with written words;
in telling stories with pictures  
Your creative Spirit is within us

In joining the dance of the universe;
in moving our bodies to the beat of life  
Your creative Spirit is within us

In the spontaneous and subversive street art   
Your creative Spirit is within us

In the performing of a play; in the routine of a mime;
in the kindness of a gesture  
Your creative Spirit is within us

In the words of our liturgy and prayers 
Your creative Spirit is within us

In being human; in caring for one another and our planet  
Your creative Spirit is within us

We are creative beings made to the image and likeness of a creative God. 
Amen
