I’m ready! Each pencil driven to a perfect point, waiting! Thoughts explode around my head but I must settle on a beginning. The page waits, so pristine and perfect. Will the first mark caress the page or leave it wounded? Lord, let my thoughts flow from my mind and meander slowly from the pencil to perfection upon the medium before my eyes. As I see with my mind’s eye, let its expression embrace all that is right and perfect in your world. May my pencil never offend! As I place pencil to paper, may the world that surrounds me be a fertile field for my imagination and may my soul recognize the touch of your guiding hand.Written in response to a prompt from Magpie Tales.

What a prayer, Maureen. It reminds me of the ones my grandmother would say each morning before she started her day.
ReplyDeleteSurely a wise prayer!
ReplyDeleteI love the world as a fertile field for your imagination - I see beautiful writing (like this) continuing to grow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful prayer! I may adopt this. :)
ReplyDeleteoh but if the pencil does not offend at times, is it realy as sharp as it sould be? truth itself can be the most offensive...
