The space between
Neither this
nor that
Ripe, potent,
uncertain, shaky
A Dawning, a Dusking ...
The immanent threshold
emerging
Crossing ... to what?
Slow down
The moment is calling you
to pay ... exquisite ... attention

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Aristotle Where do new ideas come from? How do we encourage the creative process? Is there one right way to be a creative person? What part does discipline play in creative practice? How important is education and training and skill development? What should we do when we are stalled? So many questions ... are there any answers or should I simply hold and honour the question as part of the creative process? This song was written to honour those in Newton, Connecticut, USA. I made gold angels to remember those who died. We all find ways to remember; to honour; to express our longing for a better world. A group of women friends gathered to create wall art.
It was spontaneous; full of laughter and encouragement; receptive and accepting; rich in love and shared story; a vessel overflowing with pain and joy; collaborative. A wonderful model for living and working and loving in community. Let's pray for peace ... within our selves; within our families; within our neighbourhoods; within our cities and towns; in our world. Peace begins with each one of us deciding not to react with anger or violence; not to entertain or spread gossip; not to harbour grudges; not to persevere with vengeance. Let's swap our anger for compassion. Let's ask for blessings on those who hurt us. |
