On Creation

When I gave birth to  
my children.  
 
I thought to myself,
how magnificent
that this creature  
is so perfect;
I was deeply humbled.  
 
I know now  
the secret to creation.  
 
The secret is that  
you have to fall
in love, and go there inside of the project
with your whole heart.  
 
To paint,
To write,  
To create; there is joy
waiting like no other.
 
From the hospital bed,  
I looked out my window through to the universe,  
 
and I thanked God for this gift I held.  I was so in love.

I gave it life.  
It gave me hope.
