“But neither money nor machines can create. They shuttle tokens of energy, but they do not transform. A civilization based on them puts people out of touch with their creative powers.”
Creativity is a magic wand that works two ways. When you set it in action and seek to create something, it does not just brings into existence that object or work, it also raises in your heart a dream, a hope, and a will to achieve that creation. And when all else seems lost and steeped in hopelessness, the magic of creativity can still keep you going. For when all else seem dark, an urge to create something would still give you an aim to look forward to. And if you just take hold of this urge, it will take hold of you and see you through even the darkest times. Like it did to me.
Developing the skill of creativity, like with any other skill, takes time. Do devote time to creativity. Honor its flow and its magic. Allow it to become your Life Force. Train Creativity daily.
“There's always been a lot of creative energy and creative people in Bristol. And yet there was nowhere for those people to gather, no focus.”
Every creative story is different. And every creative story is the same. There was nothing. Now there is something. It's almost like magic.
An imperfect creative expression is much more sensible and creative than a grammatically perfect expression without an iota of sense and value in it.
True creativity is inherently destructive, and truly creative individuals always, without exception, seek to destroy the mediums they work within.
It is always necessary to acknowledge creative injuries and grieve them. Otherwise, they become creative scar tissue and block your growth.
