This is creation now—
    not in the past,
        but the present.

Reread Genesis 1 with this lens–
    "In this moment
        God creates heaven and earth."

This morning,
    when you open your eyes,
        all comes (once again) into being–

birth, life, growth–
    look, see, see!—
        God again brings all into being,

again,
    and now again,
        and yet again…

Today is the big bang:
    BAM!

And how does God respond to this creating?
    "Oh, it is good,
        so very good!

And above all,
    and in all,
        and through all–

God in us
    and we in God–
        where do Creator and Creature begin and end?

Does it matter?
    We–Creature and Creator–
        are Creation itself.

Again–
    BAM!
