There is no life in Blank pages of notebooks, journals, But every one waits However much time it takes Genuine pleasure to demonstrate. Willing to become The ground for thought come alive Words creating characters, lives, worlds Reaching the sources which hide, Calling to each who survives. What comes, part unknown The flow of something of its own To speed a heart, mind, Make sadness flee, happiness A sentence given, defined. Reckoned disposable Things said without contemplation Wreck havoc, devastation More care, kindness, love Universal reconciliation.
Prompt: Define why you believe creativity is crucial, either in words or visually.
Gratitude: Books newly begun. Feeling better this evening. A phone call last night. Knowing joy can be experienced even when happiness is not possible. Learning new things.

Currently upon a landing Between What we can or cannot Do, have, know, become. Our platform is crowded With dreams, hopes, plans, Truths; We can inhale deeply Engage our hearts, minds, Souls. We have various options But results defy control; The chaos of change holds Our futures in a firm grasp. Whatever We know with certainty belongs To the past, even so, memory Is a changeling interjecting Stories which alter over time. Though We create things reflecting Our knowledge, viewpoints shift As conditions fluctuate, Oceans of thought, never still. Chaos Informs creativity avowing Experience is a seeming Space/Time we boldly bridge Leaping landing to landing Aware We habitually avoid the stairs, Moving forward or sidelong Discovering novelty in ourselves, Always exchanging present For frequent divers transformation.
Prompt: Create from something you have very recently experienced.
Gratitude: Alex called. There is no ice or snow here. I am still on this journey. The throw Richard gave me. Reading and Writing.

When writing or art comes straight through the Muse (Creativity), it is easy to create, but it becomes a more complicated process when the inspiration dries up. One has to reach deeper, think harder, be more persistent, and attempt coaxing imagination out to play.
This state is not ideal. There is not a full-blown block, but work becomes a challenge.
Writers may find helpful short forms like haiku or tanka. Different locations may inspire many. Meeting and socializing with a variety of people can inspire unique perspectives. All creatives could benefit from novel experiences that inform creation. Craft books are often useful. Reading, video, and music can enchant and educate us, bringing fresh material to mind.
For those who engage in daily practice, continuing is essential. As in all things, one’s mastery benefits from not giving up.
Habits of calm and quiet can also induce states conducive to the breaking of creativity into consciousness. To slow down, invoke peace, still the racing of body and mind facilitates copious production.
Taking leave from the busyness of screens makes room for thoughts unbiased by advertisement, frantic activity, and media to surface. Constant immersion in the digital world can sometimes drain away originality.
Conversation with family, friends, and others may also add filler to the well. Long walks with rapt attention to surroundings can awaken capacities often drown in routine.
Always remember, love and creativity, though perhaps muted, are present. Do not quit. Capture hope, ideas, joy, for those are available and plentiful when actively pursued.
Gratitude: Visiting Richard, conversation, food, moments. Coming home allows less tension and stressful feelings. Not physically disciplining the Wookie for destroying my cushion. My command center. Talking to Alex and Reba.
