Happy New Year, 2019 January 1
We are celebrating 2019 today. We are celebrating Creativity! To my followers here at Reading Fiction Blog, as of this month this blog has over 100,000 views. To the readers, writers, and artists who come here because they love the fictional world, thank you for participating in the joy of story. The creative art of fiction surely can transform us if only for an hour or two. Stories have the power to dissolve the boundaries between us and connect our minds and hearts, sometimes our very souls.
We live inside this star-studded universe, but let’s remember that the universe lives inside us.
Carl Sagan said that like all creatures on this planet, we are made of starstuff. William Blake saw the universe in a grain of sand. I wish you all abundant creativity. Stay inspired.
To all the creative spirits here, I share this poem Artist’s Prayer by Alex Grey to celebrate 2019 and all you endeavor.
Artist’s Prayer
Creator of the Universe,
How infinite and astonishing
Are your worlds.
Thank you,
For your Sacred Art
And sustaining Presence.
Divine Imagination,
Forgive my blindness,
Open all my Eyes.
Reveal the Light of Truth.
Let original Beauty
Guide my every stroke.
Universal Creativity,
Flow through me,
From my heart
Through my mind to my hand,
Infuse my work with spirit
To feed hungry souls.
by Alex Grey, The Mission of Art
May this new year be abundant every day.
Happy New Year, Paula!
