Creativity is Inherent.
Fascination as a Doorway...
This week, I’m exploring a simple but transformative truth:
Creativity is inherent
Whether I am opening a curtain to let the morning light in,
washing the dishes in the kitchen sink, preparing my taxes in spreadsheets and sweatpants.
I don’t need to wait for the perfect moment, the wide berth of space, the boundless energy I think I need in order to have a creative moment.
Creativity doesn’t need me to have a week off of work for it to arrive.
I don’t need the fancy notebook to begin.
It moves through me, through us in the ordinary rhythms of life.
It is accessible with out any fancy bells or whistles.
The mundane, the monotony also desires to have the company of inspiration.
The doorway in for me is fascination.
Simply the willingness to let something grab my attention and captivate me again.
If I can remove the idea that creativity is only valid when it results in a finished product or outcome, I can allow for the flow and connection of being in Process… I can take away any judgement and have the courage to begin… exactly where I am.
This week’s reflection invites us to ask:
Where does my creativity feel most alive?
And how might I bring it into the places that feel routine or uninspired?
