This is creation now--
not in the past,
but the present.
Reread Genesis 1 with this lens--
"In this moment
God creates heaven and earth."
This morning,
when you open your eyes,
all comes (once again) into being--
birth, life, growth--
look, see, see!--
God again brings all into being,
again,
and now again,
and yet again...
Today is the big bang:
BAM!
And how does God respond to this creating?
"Oh, it is good,
so very good!
And above all,
and in all,
and through all--
God in us
and we in God--
where do Creator and Creature begin and end?
Does it matter?
We--Creature and Creator--
are Creation itself.
Again--
BAM!
