We read a thousand books to glean a thousand morsels with which to discern, devise, design, and, in practice, implement our own life philosophy.
If we choose to write, said philosophy emerges directly…
Music. Words. Images. A truth seeking wanderer.
Newness is addictive to the wanderer-type. We can bounce around careers, vocations, projects, relationships, cities, countries… without taking the time to become utterly amazing at something.
Maybe you can’t draw, write a rhyme or an original story, paint happy clouds, sculpt with marble, improvise a scene, strum a chord, paradiddle, glissando,…
Creativity thrives on an openness and innocence (or perhaps wilful ignorance), a trust in the unknown and a delightful anticipation of the unexpected. It calls for a certain level of restriction, pressure or limitation: a time constraint, a budget limit, an equipment or materials limit, inexperience, weather conditions, client preferences, Mercury or Mars in retrograde, etc.
Being a motivator, instigator, sparkler, inspirer, agitator, uplifter, goader, heart-connector, IS your purpose.
