Voicing the Wisdom Within
A sense of the sacred emerges
through conscious intentional creativity, as a
voice emerges in times of great emotion and
inspiration. All around us, people explore
their creative embodiment through movement,
voice, and language. It is our imagination, our
spirit, matching the dancer's, singer's, and
poet's dream. We move because they move.
We are left with wonder for the richness
of self expression, the creative choices that
are available, and endless possibilities
as the exploration of life, and healing
continue...
Creativity as Rebellion
Daily acts of creativity are tiny rebellions,
advocating for the rights of ostranenie, to see
deeply with new eyes what is random and
ordinary, as strange and extraordinary. Here's a
quick and dirty list, to help reclaim your inner
creative.
1. Cultivate Curiosity. Ask questions, allowing for the unknown, and possible failure.
2. Cultivate being in the here and now. Trust in the process, immersing in the present moment.
3. Cultivate Mindfulness. Notice the space between the thoughts where there is stillness and quiet, connecting to yourself, and all that is.
4. Cultivate Sensuality. Use all of your senses, taking yourself out into nature, or somewhere unfamiliar.
5. Cultivate Simplicity. Embrace the lure of becoming, following your energy, intuition, and the Creative Force.
The endowment of creativity, the omnipotent
divine universal force, as it flows through
and surrounds us, is a state of wonder, and
reverence. It’s the longing to connect, diving past
the inner critic, and deeper into the well where
{mind, body, and spirit} reside as one. The
fruition of creativity bridges the great divide
between self, and other.
And, we are the conduits.
