Last week I went creative.
I felt a deep need to work with my spirit,
to form a body from many small members.
I searched online,went to stores looking
for components, seeking what I needed
to put my plan into action.
Pieces of spring steel for its backbone,
with the ability to carry all the weight of
all the members would need when I attached them
to that backbone.
I used fishing leaders,snaps and swivels of various lengths.
Shorter crossmembers of spring steel to be hung in tandom
with various painted shapes of tiny fish,
of different weights and colors.
Like my photography, I wanted the spiritual aspects
of my creation to shine in His light.
Not really caring what anyone else thought of my creation,
I hoped for the spiritually aesthetic.
I took great care and wanted to give it love,form,
and motion;I also added a little hope to it,
this creation of mine.
I wanted it to be a part of me,
for my pleasure to look at,and wonder;
about what thoughts it might churn within me.
It hangs from my ceiling now, finally finished;
a beautiful thing to watch,an example of the
fine balance and harmony of God.It fills a small corner,
of my living room ceiling,like God fills His universe.
It is a wonderful thinking machine,
and my spirit and I created it with
our hands together.
” The Coolest mobile I ever made,
really the only one I ever made!”
“And God said,Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air,and over the cattle,and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth.”
Genesis 2:26
In His love,
