Make
It
“You
are one thing only. You are a Divine being. An all-powerful Creator.
You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the
infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that
is, will be and ever was.”
Anton
St. Maarten (Divine Living: The Essential Guide to Your True Destiny)
There
is something about creating with our hands that taps into a deeper
well, and connects us, main-line, to the creative juices of the
universe. We quiet, we focus, we get lost in the act of making
something that expresses our truest self at a level rarely
reached by words alone. What we tap into is the ultimate creative
force. We find it in ourselves. What a surprise! We really are part
of the cosmos!
Most
of us are not going to be a Michelangelo or a Leonardo Da Vinci, but
we can stir up a great basil pesto, we can paint a chair, we can
stack some bricks together for a garden wall, we can sew a couple of
seams to make a curtain. Most of us can break pottery and create a
mosaic tabletop, or saute some veges in a wok, or knead dough into
bread. We can dig a hole and stick seeds in dirt to grow a cabbage
or a tomato. It is our nature, as cosmic beings, to create.
Creativity
is what helped us to evolve—from the first time we stuck a hunk of
meat on a stick and held it over fire, to the constructing of a
supercollider, human beings have been tapping into that source and
creating. You, too, are a cosmic critter. You, too, are a creative force in
this universe. In the words of Joss Whedon, “Write it. Shoot it.
Publish it. Crochet it, saute it, whatever. MAKE!” It will satisfy
your soul.
In
the Spirit,
Jane
