If God was an Artist
One day I am going to write a book about
God as an artist,
my professor would say.
I wonder if she ever did.
She taught me to see the playful and creative nature
of the one we so often take so seriously.
Artists do more then paint,
and sculpt
and draw
and create art that is visual,
but the world is filled with visual displays
of God’s creativity and artistry.
Have you ever thought about yourself
as a sculpture,
constantly being molded and perfected?
God did not stop working on us
after the initial design.
We are a line of our own,
constantly being revised,
renewed,
refashioned, and
reaccessorized.
Creating art is not always easy
or clean
or neat,
sometimes it is hard
and time consuming
and quite messy,
but there are pieces I have seen,
people I have met,
writings I have read,
songs I have heard,
things I have felt,
aromas I have smelled,
scents that have found their way to me
that have let me know the artist
is still working
and still designing
and redesigning
and challenging us to see the beauty
in the mess
and when I am left feeling overwhelmed
and not sure what to do
I hear God looking at me like Tim Gunn
and saying make it work,
I gave it to you my artist,
now make it work.
