Moving Along

Blogging seems to come easily around here.  After all, this is the 400th post in less than two years!  It could easily have been more, trust me.  Fortunately, my internal editor has been at work; otherwise, you would have been subjected to rants, tirades and other useless moaning..  Hopefully, you've found something good here--something inspiring or thought provoking.  

Because it isn't about me.  It's about creativity and passion and color and Life.  I'm just a conduit.  That's all any of us are.  The moment you believe that you are the source of an original thought or idea, that you have generated something new and fantastic, you're sunk.  I'm not going to philosophize.  I'll just remind you that "There is nothing new under the sun."

To be a Creative, you must let go of everything.  Of all your expectations, your dreams, your ego driven fantasies.  If you want to live it, you have stop playing at it.  You have to put all your energy into moving forward.  The steps may be small and halting at times.  That's okay.  Just move along with your hands open, ready to accept what comes your way.  Because if your hands have a death grip on your small minded ideas of your future, you will miss out on the blessings that come your way.  And all the possibilities that present themselves will evaporate.

I'm moving forward, hands and arms wide open, ready to be astonished by what is yet to come.  Who's with me?
