A Blessing for One Who is Engaging in a Creative Project
May God the Artist
who imagined oceans, and diamonds,
create through you
what exists now only on the inside.
May Christ, the Visionary,
who became a dream embodied,
sustain you now,
as you embody your dreams.
May the Spirit be in you,
who brought into being
stars, and redwoods, and jellyfish
and your own creative process.
And through you
may God midwife a new reality
from the prism of all possibilities.
In the name of the creative God,
the imagination of Christ,
and the artistry of the Spirit,
Amen
