Help us to live in the eternal moment,
awaiting your perfect timing
in all things.
awaiting your perfect timing
in all things.
~ Nan Merrill from her interpretation of Psalm 105 in PSALMS FOR PRAYING
The recovery of faith in our creativity
and in the artist within each of us and
the artists among all of us is no small
thing. It has to do with the rekindling of
the spark of hope and vision, of
adventure and blessing, that a tired
civilization needs...
If it is true, as Paul says, that "we are
God's work of art," then everything we
have said about art as meditation applies
to the delight, wonder, admiration,
surprise that God takes at our birth and
continual unfolding.
