The term dry river bed may be an oxymoron, but in the Western desert, as sometimes in our lives, we have forgotten the flow that brings abundant life. Using your creativity gets the flow going when we have forgotten to be a compassionate observer/participator. I love the quote by G. K. Chesteron, "We are all under the same mental calamity, we have forgotten our names and who we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one wonderful instant we remember that we forgot." Recalling our creativity is like retrieving our spirit and letting it flow in the direction or remembering who we are. Today I'm going for a walk by the Columbia River and visit and art gallery that is at the water's edge just for fun!

Creativity helps us remember!
