I was just thinking about the carefree creativity I had as a child the other day and wondering if it's possible to get it back. This post was just what I needed to read today. Thank you for sharing.
“Creativity lives at the intersection of surrender and discipline” - I’ve never heard anyone express it in this way before, and it rings so true. Surrender feels like the easier part for me. The discipline of creating the space in which to surrender is a bit harder! Thank you for this beautiful and thought-provoking piece.
Thanks Lisa! The idea of surrender and discipline is not mine but I love it, too. Somehow it is both - although I think you can create art chaotically and from time and time and that’s good, too ;)
A speech class I once took got me out of my jello mold. I wiggled frightened to death to stand and deliver a speech in front of people. But I focused on one, then another. Found myself an actor on stage and I found my place. I could make others laugh as I laughed at myself for being afraid of nothing.
My daily meditation is changing my life. Period. I had no idea. And only now can I see the entry points into tiny things.
Very powerful, positive post. Thank you for sharing the video too. Inspiring.
So glad you liked it! I find it very moving

I found a yellow post-it note I wrote years ago which says "I want to tell stories --- when I grow down" (as opposed to growing up!)
Oooh love it

Love that! I’ve taken a few acting classes and it is so fun once you get past the discomfort!
It’s child’s play pretending.
