Artistic God,

Your creation bursts through:

mountains 

flowers 

rainforests 

rivers 

animals

sunshine.

Made in your image, 

each one of us has the potential 

to embody your creation: 

beautiful
deep 

healing

life affirming

whole

holy.

We are created from you to:

love

praise

give

rejoice

worship 

create.

Your creation bursts through:

song

art

music 

dance

word 

performance.

Your creation bursts through 

     and cannot be contained.

And you, who cannot be known,

     receive and delight in these gifts 

not because you need them

     but because you know that 

we need this release and connection

with the one who created 

and continues to create 

within each one of us. 

A reflection inspired by Acts 17:22-31
