Back in the creative groove
“The receptivity of the artist must never be confused with passivity.”
― Rollo May, The Courage to Create
It's been a while since I've felt like this.
Don't ask me why, but I couldn't summon anything more than enough creative juice to produce this blog and a few posts and recordings to Patreon.
I know it's tempting fate to report on my renewed sense of purpose but, right now, I've this overwhelming sense of needing to create:
poetry
brush calligraphy
sketching
photography
and books.
I don't have a modus operandi.
I show up.
I either write to my computer or I sit at my other desk on the other side of the room which I reserved for the other stuff,
and wait...
If something happens, it happens.
If it doesn't.
So what!
I don't know your thing but even if you have to work for 'The Man', never forget that under all those layers of self-doubt and negative thinking lies a creative genius.
I'm serious.
It's not just my theory but I believe with all my heart that we're all possessed of something beyond the ken of our current understanding.
My advice: don't waste it watching TV, getting drunk and engaging in social media.
Create as if your life depended on it.
Take care.
Blessings and big love,
Julian
