This is quite a manifesto about creating.
"let loose, to stream, initially censoring nothing."
I'm struck by the thought that...
"The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that.
The river does not dry up, we block it.'
Using the river as a metaphor for creativity in this way is provocative
given the real-life impacts rivers impose on our region right now.
I confess, my metaphorical river would never cause such violent devastation.
Yet, I ponder what lessons can be gleaned from it.
I'm also meditating on "being willing to be stone stupid"in order to create.
I feel this whenever I encounter the blank screen or the blank page
or the empty canvas.
And it settles deeper in following less-than-satisfactory experiments.
Nonetheless, I will continue to
"sit upon the throne on top of the jackass",
because for better or worse, I believe in the river.
Namaste'
