Connecting with Creation
When I need some quiet, I imagine myself on a beach with my toes in the sand. I walk next to the ocean and listen to the lapping waves. My dog bounces around my feet as the water tickles my toes.
I squat on my heels and watch the waves move and hear the crash and fall or all that liquid motion. Since I am more a sound person, I hear it and feel it better than see it.
There is a slight hiss as the water hits the rocks and slides off of it. There is a roar as the waves get bigger. And the sound is softer as the waves loose motion and hit the beach.
Not just in my imagination-- but in my life, I have seen the beaches of Southern California and Florida. I have sat on the beaches of Cape Town South Africa. I've seen both oceans there.
I am always drawn to the ocean.
I feel very deeply when I am there.
So it is ironic that I am land-locked in the desert.
I'm sure there is a reason that the ocean is a symbol of great power. To me it is also a symbol of great potential and creativity. There are so many layers to the ocean and so many things living in its layers.
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the digital connections that I have every day. The physical is becoming a screen. The mind is overwhelmed with data and with the negativity on the 1s and 0s in front of me. Frequencies have become static and we are losing communication with our physical selves.
We live in a material world. We need it to care for our reality here. If we did live in hologram (hologram theory), would we need food and sleep? Would we need touch and feel?
We also live in an emotional realm. Without emotions, what is meaning? Are we just animals scrabbling in a hard world? I believe not.
When I connect with my creative self, I feel whole.
I've talked to other writers and artists about being creative and being connected to creativity. It feels empty when we are not doing sometime creative. In my case if I do not create, then words and poems just slip out. Or I dream very very vivid dreams.
There have been some dreams that tempted me to walk away from this physical template and go there. So maybe I am supposed to bring some of that wonder here.
This world we have manufactured with others is not entirely real. At least-- if you listen to the quantum scientists. We fill the holes with what we expect to see.
I think creators uncover the holes in unexpected ways.
