Yesterday was a great creativity day: I wrote 2 blog posts and baked some gluten free communion bread. While it cooled, I made some new elements for my windowsill altar. Here's how it looks this morning:
Then we headed off to church. I wasn't planning to write a poem, but one came--and then this morning, I shaped that poem beginning into something more finished.
Then yesterday, I made a sketch, inspired by the poem; I was especially taken by these lines: "Avoid the houses made of gingerbread / and all the traps the world will set."
I also liked this Epiphany sketch, which helped inspire the poem I wrote:
When I got home, my star word was waiting from a member of a Facebook group. I decided to make it into a card, so that I'd remember as the year went on.
My star word is journey--it's one that was chosen blindly for me. It's been interesting to see the words that others have gotten and to compare them to mine: care, anoint, steadfast, care, future, prepare, spirit, inheritance.
The rest of the day was not as creative, as I had lots of work to do to get my online classes ready. But that's O.K. With a creative morning to undergird the day, I'm happier regardless.
