Something from Nothing
Sugar
Trying to regain our creativity can be somewhat difficult as we get older. Our childhood days of writing, singing, dancing and making up wild fantastic stories have been pushed to the wayside. Our time is now filled with housework, family obligations, bills and the like.
Creativity is basically making something out of nothing, and unless creativity is actively nourished it can't present itself. If we could just reach back into our childhood and recall some of the fearless skills we all once had, we could begin to develop our creativity and weave it into our everyday lives.
Life is a Blank Canvas
Gazing at a blank canvas can be very intimidating. It's either a quick way to squash the creative flow or the first step to creating a true masterpiece. When we were children, we weren't aware of the right or wrong of creating, we just knew that it felt good.
Returning to a Fearless State
The first step is to have a little fun. Drop your shoulders and grab a game, sled or jump rope. Try to enjoy the activities you did as a child. The idea is to clear your mind from the concerns of your day to day life and ignite the ability to think freely.
Access: Public
there is a space within, where everything exists in a potentiated state - that is, all possibilities are co-existent. That is where the creative spark lives.
the closer we can aprroach that, the more wondrous and light-bearing the art we bring forth.
it indeed, is something from nothing
