Several months ago I added a blessing by/adapted from Cole Arthur Riley’s Black Liturgies to the liturgy I use for my co-working + co-writing sessions for creative souls because she wraps very good words around what I want for myself and others.
I need these words every damn day:
May we cultivate our imagination for what could be. May our creative sparks be renewed in the presence of rest and beauty, that we would not destroy ourselves in order to create. And may our craft be honed with the gentle passage of time. Let’s go in peace to create without burden.
