to the creative soul—

an ode to the wild and profound thing called creativity

Been sitting long on the profound beauty of creativity and it’s spilled out in these words here, so here’s an ode to all things art — little pieces of glory revealed in the everyday…

---

To the creative soul,

Where art is commonplace,

but profound.

Where beauty is not vain,

but a path to uncover the deepest truths.

-

To the souls at work

to bring heaven on earth

in the little ways no one sees.

God in all good things—

tangible, here among us.

-

To the acts of creation

beginning with Creator.

And perhaps never quite ending,

for every end makes way

for a new beginning.

-

To working with your hands

To make the intangible tangible.

The five senses,

The unseen seen,

Wrapped up in this wonderful world.

-

To the stretching that comes

with learning something new.

Where what was once unknown

strikes the soul in a new light,

breaking fresh ground.

-

To the glory of a work completed.

The simple satisfaction

of an “it is finished”

here

at your kitchen table.

-

To everyday pursuits

being worth their while.

The simple things

counted worthy of the passing of time—

treasures of another currency.

-

To a return to the beginning

where our passions—

these stirrings of the soul—

showed us

there are still

greater things

than

this.
