Do You Feel Alive with Love and Life?

Are you as creative as you would like to be? Do you feel alive with love and life?

Because to be creative is not only the simple endeavor of creating poems or paintings, it is a practice of revering life. To be creative is to be a mystic, falling in love with the smallest detail because you hear the symphony of the cosmos pouring through it.

I won't kid you though; it's hard at first. We have routines and responsibilities, inner boundaries and battlegrounds. And then there's the great barrier of the ego - a phantom we believe in again and again.

I tell you, my friends, with a pen or paintbrush, you can slip right past that ghost of yourself and fall back gently into the cosmic undertow flowing from the heart. And in this undertow is image and archetype, love and the shimmering of life, the wisdom that guides your unique and holy life.

How do you get to the River? First with singleness of attention, second with desire to open and receive, and third with a willingness to accept it all - even the dark and dreary.

This week, I encourage you to create - let it all out and discover the transparency of your limitations!
