Day Four - Creativity

I wanted to write a whole blog post when I got back from dinner with a relative, and a walk along along the Great Union Canal, but I ended up talking to my room mate about the struggle of self employment and trying to fill all jobs roles. Her insight was pretty helpful, I hadn't realised I was trying to be my own marketer, manager, accountant as well as service provider. It seems to fit well with my DIY approach to getting work experience. If you want to try something new, start a project.

Before that conversation, I wanted to write about how in touch with the outside world I have felt since giving up listening to music at all times. I observed people, I heard children laughing, I saw the ripples on the canal. I have seen all this before, but something is more real in the observing, but not dissociated. I had a lot in my mind about blockages and families and awakening experiences, but I wasn't not there despite all the thinking.

I climbed Primrose Hill in time for the sunset. I will include the pictures in the next post.

Dinner was good. My relative gave me about the best present ever for me. She gave me the book, The Artist's Way. I stared at it on the table, amazed. I opened the first few pages, and things dropped into place. Things from years of struggle, the idea that writing is a tool to access the divine. Creativity as a divine energy. Explains a lot, is a lot. If I open this book and begin doing the exercises, what will I unblock this time? Was one rather poorly managed awakening experience enough for one life time or is there more to come?

Creativity is always an adventure, so who knows what is around the corner??!!!
