Apprenticed to God
Oh, to not be productive, to be liberated from the need to be productive!....to live in a universe of no hunger, fear, or suffering, our potential for creation now liberated to create beauty and life, to explore, to find new ways to express the joy of Unity and to reach toward exciting new heights of that Unity.........But it is here, in this world of Darwinian conflict and cruelty, that we learn to create. Here the children of God are apprenticed to the Creator, learning to create, discovering what we can create, choosing what we will create.
Apprenticed to God,
given examples to inspire, given freedom to ignore them.
This material world pulls our strings of hunger and fears and lusts,
but even as we clumsily plod per those pulls of needs, aversions, and desires,
occasional sparks of creativity still hint at the potential for which we were created.
