The blue sky above and the green waters below, the sun and the moon, rocks, pebbles, and wings that fly. It’s all God. Mary Oliver once wrote, “Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the peace of God that is inside each of us.” A garden, a home, a family….a song or dance….a poem, a painting, a piece of silk. Everything that we do, or even say, is an act of creation. Something as simple as a sincere, deliberate smile can be a powerful creative act. It can light up your world and the world around you. Try it!😊
