CREATIVE EXPLORATIONS
To appreciate my God-given gifts
Is to use them
To explore the next thing
To further develop my inner creative spirit
To take chances on innovative items
To imagine what something will be
Or what it will look like before I put
My hands to it
To use my nimble fingers with pen, thread
And crochet nothingness
Into something unique
And perfect in my eyes
To open my heart to receive more beauty, amassing, colorful,
Soft, various patterns
To become emboldened and unafraid to venture out
Into a world unknown to me
To take my place at the creative table and make it my own
To wear creative risk-taking like a shawl draped across my shoulders
To thread silken particles through the atmosphere
And have them land gently on all mankind
To run fiercely through flower beds and lie down among
Patterns on the ground
As my soul blossoms in a garden of creativity!
