Creation

Creation is the process of an idea unfolding, be it a flower or the answer to a math problem. In every case, the idea comes first and is followed by its expression in the world around us. The beauty of creation is its endless appearing in infinitely new ways — like the sunset or the birth of a baby, no two are ever the same. Just so, we never exhaust creation — it continues to appear, whether as a repeat yet new performance like perennial flowers, or as an entirely new entity, like a planet or a star. Creation is infinite and ever-appearing because its source is one infinite God. The more we understand this source, the more we see its unlimited expression.
