without eating crayons.
His sheer delight at his first masterpiece
reminds me
of how joyful it is to create.
Take a first draft, for example:
it's buoyed with hope,
unencumbered by revision slogging,
a fresh treasure chest of untapped potential.
I often find myself smiling
while scribbling at new sketches
or a new project.
We are made for this,
to leave a sparkling trail of creation behind us,
jewels of ourselves,
beauty for the world.
What accomplishments give you joy?
a beautiful meal, new sketches,
a clever light bulb moment,
seeds planted
... ?

What a brilliant post, what a lovely kid, and what a wonderful masterpiece.
Kids and their scribbles- can anything be more fun?
So cute! I hope you cherish those moments of joyful creativity, I certainly enjoy seeing it here.
Right now, I'm learning to carve with my father. It is very slow going but I do feel like a kid with crayons. The possibilities are unlimited!
"Jewels of ourselves", Faith thats so beautiful. To watch the sheer joy a child feels when creating things in their wonderfully uninhibited way is the most inspiring & heart precious thing. I receive the most joy in sharing & creating with folk, best of all my 3 children, be it a meal, a piece of artwork, or painting a wall, planting in th garden, walking along the shore collecting driftwood, its all in the sharing the experiences for me. ps sugar snack sure is a cutie! x x
I love these pictures. Thanks for the post.
