Puddles of creativity |
|
Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, November 13, 2011 |

|
This little puddle of creativity which each of us is is small, but deep and real, for it is connected by underground springs to the great ocean of life; to be a single drop in that ocean, let alone an entire puddle, is enough to transform the very landscape of this world of ours. For that puddle is deeper than we can even imagine; it is a lake, really. It is fed and watered by an ageless stream of human tears; it is deepened yet by the rains of nature's seasons. These wellsprings are eternal and flow in endless supply; these springs will flow forever; these reservoirs never run dry. The dryness that may come from time to time is but a brief and transient state, caused by human ego trying to control the flow; replacing the Way of the Spirit with our own little puny reasons and ways and wherefores. And when these pass, as pass they must, and will, it can be like a cloudburst in the desert, moistening the dust and turning it into potter's clay, till at last that puddle overflows and becomes a mighty ocean all God's own. jbs 3/19/99 3/12/00 11/13/11
