“Creativity is always a leap of faith. You’re faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.” – Julia Cameron
“Everything that’s created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.” – Wayne Dyer
Play date.
A few hours painting pottery.
Choosing the piece.
The colors.
The pattern.
Trying something new.
No expectations, formulas, rules.
No score, measurement, counting, comparing, producing.
No checklists or transactions.
Entering flow.
Time suspended.
Exploration.
Allowing.
Simple acts of getting out of your head.
Into your heart.
Slowing to the fullness of time.
Creating, emergence, stillness.
The gift of play to renew and refresh.
May we be wise enough as children to weave into each day.
“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” – Charles Mingus
