Resistance against creativity has filled my whole life,
My offences have been countless and painful.
Rationality has rebuked me,
friends have admonished me,
the example of others has reproached me,
your freedom has terrified me,
your treasures evade me.

You have seen and abhorred all my fears and
could easily have forsaken me,
yet you cling to me,
been gracious to me,
given me your help,
invited me to your table.

Now, I thankfully obey your call,
accept your goodness
surrender to your invitations.
I believe that you, creativity have many rewards.

I ask for your benefits.
give up my mind implicitly to your instructions,
trust and revel in your wonder,
revere and accept your calling,
pray that you will enrich my life.

I will not love a world that crucifies you,
nor cherish nor endure the critic that puts you to grief,
nor suffer you to be wounded by others.
So let me be what I am,
do as well as dream,
live as well as feel
creativity.
