Creativity cannot be put on a schedule!

Finally, I am content with knowing that life isn't about being scheduled! The light chasers know this one......the raw materials of nature, the subjects of our creative expressions cannot be organized according to our whims and plans. I learned this one following my photographer son on an early morning shoot in the mountains. We froze our butts off, climbing, setting up the gear and waiting for that streak of gold to hit the mountain top.....and it did that morning....for a few seconds....maybe a minute....and then it flattened out. We showed up....and I think that is the secret.....showing up! Anticipation....whether it happens or not at our predicted moments is where the creativity begins. Just show up and let the raw materials of the environment combine with your talent and skills and see what happens. We'll be freer to do whatever we need to do when it comes. The magic is in consistently showing up whether it is behind the camera, at the easel, on stage, or writing down our poetry!
