To think of Holy Spirit hovering here with me in the way you describe.. “She is neither anxious nor harried; she is not alarmed by the formless void below her. Her affection for her offspring keeps her alert but relaxed. Though seemingly empty, rûaḥ has her eyes fixed on this abyss that’s ripe with potential.” … oh what comfort that provides.
I have been reading this opening verse in lectio divina for weeks now. Definitely feels like God continuing the conversation with me here in what you have written. The anticipation of creation often feels as though we are living in the tension of what could be with the sole responsibility of giving its being. The verse reminds me that it is rûah who hovers over me - assured, gentle, loving - as I come into forming what feels to be without tangible shape.

Beautiful Cné, any creation is co-creation - the pressure can be off!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Joanne!
