Creation

There are those who suggest that the closest humans can get to the traditional view of the Creator God is when they assemble music or words in a unique way, in a form of practically pure creation. The act, of course, doesn't actually occur on paper. It happens in the mind. The mental creative act is often distilled on paper, and then performed with voice or instrument.



One of the highlights of my visits to the food bank is listening to Oren share some of his own poetry. Today we enjoyed both light and sober verses about Christmas, and some darker ones about war and pain. The last one Oren didn't even want to give a voice to, he just passed it to me to read silently.

He was exercising the creator's prerogative.
