The creative process is the greatest mysteries of being human
The ability to envisage future and past, create and tell stories
Colour gray to pink, dance like no one’s watching
To music that was inspired by the same spark
Solve life’s dilemmas
Time stops, jaws relax, eyes freeze on a spot
Peripheral distractions absorb into the painted walls
You may not relate to this
You are not the creative sort, so you think
Apologies, first, for bursting your bubble
Your bubble that convinced you are lacking in this area
None of us would be where we are today without it
We would be still sitting on the ground rubbing a stick to a stone
Shivering, suffering from hypothermia
No, it worked, the fire started
You took the skin from the deer, wrapped it around your shoulders
Now you are double warm
Food now cooked, was much tastier and better for the belly
Leaves were placed on top of sticks for a dryer night
Each person offered their notions
Ideas that came from nowhere
Other than their imagination
This creative thinking continues now
Though our problems are more complex
Greater in numbers
Requiring more than two people sitting around a fire to solve
We are now excessively aware of the troubles in the world
Hunger, terrorism, Brexit, Trump, coral reefs, extinction
Close to home
An unsatisfying job, a faulty stove, a child with autism, ironing left undone
Exasperated, disenchanted, confused
Where to start, where to focus our creative juices?
So, you might attempt to do it all
Or throw in the towel, live an auto pilot kind of life
Wondering why you are depressed and purposeless
Swinging from tree to tree until you crash and burn
It never goes away, just waits for you to revive it
Take a pause: Rebooting Creative Juices
Creativity helps you focus, but you need to focus first
Select one thing to solve at a time
If it’s cooking dinner, decide on what to make, buy the ingredients, and cook
A project at work?
Decide to solve the conundrum at work, not while cooking your dinner
Reading to your child or watching a movie,
Leave the phone off and the work project alone
Read with expression, make it fun, as with the movie, be entertained
Recall the moments the happy times in your life
You had to be there, in that moment
Being creative
