Sunday Sunset Inez Dunn©2013 |
Is Sunday the day for rest? Or is Sunday the day for
gathering the week’s inspirations to create something new? Homemade soup, we
wait all week for this, an idea inspired by late night TV. The commercial is
cast in an artificial light depicting a stream of steaming liquid with shiny
vegetables and fat soulful noodles. Weren’t we going to do that today? How
about the package of thank you cards we have all purchased from time to time? Card
stock in creamy velum painted with songbirds in colors of crimson. Birds
singing words of praise printed neatly beneath their beaks. Today would have been a good
day to do that. We
crafters on any Sunday, Palm or Easter have been known to place the weeks
divine ideas and inspirational moments and toss them into a brown paper bag.
Its like a metaphorical shake & bake, voila! Captured concepts, ideas
completed and a resolution that rests peacefully. On other Sundays we wager a
bit of hide and seek, a toggle between wait and see, fingers combing our hair;
we hem and haw. Why? Because for this day, this one final day of the week we
recognize the human need not just to create, but also to rejuvenate, and
sometimes a day of rest is the best inspiration of all!
