We are Called...to Do It.

A quote from one of our wisdom figures, Joan Buckham:

We are called not only to imagine what can be done,
but with prayer, discipline and perseverance, to do it.

If we are truly prophetic, then we need to listen to our call and open ourselves to imagination. That's not enough, though, we need to pray about it, look at how we can act and with the discipline and perseverance, do it.

I was reading The Artist's Way, a book about creativity by Julie Cameron, who has several books of creativity. One of the first tenets is to engage in creativity every day without fail. Some days may seem a waste of time, but no, in the long run it is not. We need to hone our imaginations, discipline ourselves to stick with it and have the perseverance to walk through the brain drain, the disparaging remarks from others, those who would sabotage our work and just do it. There is lot there to consider.

Today I am writing in my blogs and dialoging a prayer with the Lord ans I continue my goal of writing "2"- two of anything, just write. What could you do to hone your creativity?
