Creative spark by Kate Wolfe-Jenson

I sing of the creative spark

that wakes us up 

and moves us out

into the big wide world.

In answer to its joyful call

we smear with paint

we play with words

we celebrate our souls.

But if we try to push it down

the seas turn rough

the skies turn dark

our lives turn dry indeed.

Well-nourished your creative spark

will lift you clear 

will give you strength

will bring you back to life.

Kate Wolfe-Jenson is learning to nourish her rebellious tendencies. She lives and writes about chronic illness, creativity and spirituality. Interested in monsters and angels, garbage and flowers, brokenness and wholeness, she suspects they call us toward joy if we let them. Someday she hopes to dissolve into a ball of light. Her blog is JourneyDancing.com.
