274 - Fashioning

August 1, 2002

E.G. started studies in Visual Communications at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles last month. Her assignments are tapping new talents and inclinations; she is on a fast learning curve in a competitive program, and she's entranced, absorbed. What a pleasure to see my child discovering her life's work.

Two Hundred Seventy-Four

Fashioning

Can I assemble the stuff of dreams?
Direct my imagination and creativity, Holy One;
Turn my passion into skill,
Educate my intention with knowledge.

My fingers stretch, acquiring discernment,
I wield pen and fantasy, cloth and inspiration;
I explore the subtlety of adornment,
An interplay of make-believe and reality.

I serve You with my happiness,
My growing aptitude the weft of my productivity;
I weave in values: honesty, forthrightness,
And wrap the world in the shining fabric.
