Doing Creator's Creative Will

I once heard the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. say, "I just want to do God's will." That's what I'm feeling today--I just want to do the Creator's will using the creative talents I've been given. I want to create art that satisfies my soul, that is a contribution to the hearts/minds/souls of everybody, for posterity. I want to move beyond everything that has blocked and stopped me from expressing the wellspring of creativity within, beyond the inner critic and the perfectionist. "I just want to do God's will" and get all this art out of me and into the world.

My adapted prayer today--and everyday I abide here by the grace of Pachamama--is:

Deliver me to my passion.

Deliver me to my brilliance.

Deliver me to my intelligence.

Deliver me to my depth.

Deliver me to my nobility.

Deliver me to my beauty.

Deliver me to my power to heal.

Deliver me to You.

This cover for the first full-color edition of Passager is a page from one of my pillow books. I was truly honored that the publishers wanted to use this page. Writing in the round is magically disorienting.
