Toward A More Creative Lifestyle
Channeling our efforts into creativity may take a creative approach to life management. I'm sure there are some that get up in the morning, look at their latest art project in the midst of dining table disarray, and proceed to add to it. But I'm not one of those people. Instead I get the coffee going and sit down in my desk chair in front of the computer. It takes an act of extreme self-will to tear myself away just to write in my journal.
Therefore as I approach the field of artistic endeavor, I'm hindered by my own preoccupations, and must find a passage between what looks like huge walls of solid rock. I'm sure that passageway is there and that I'll find it. I intend that it is so. You see, I have creativity in my blood. I cannot let a day go by without creative endeavor. For the last ten years that creativity was primarily expressed via website creation and writing.
Now I've got a new creative goal: to redecorate my home using multiple works of creative art, including paintings, wall hangings of various sorts, and sculpture. My goal is to live in a creative castle of my own making, and of course also with multiple creative works of my significant other, Bob, who lives here with me. Between the two of us, we should be able to come up with a lot of creative works of art. He does some fascinating sculpture with copper tubing and crystals, and is heading toward his own new expressions of fantasy in art.
This morning I wrote a list of intentions regarding my projects. Here's one of them: I intend that my artwork is constantly evolving for the better and that I'm enthusiastically involved in producing it. Insofar as it is for the highest and best good of all involved, so be it. And so it is.
