Let the beauty we love be what we do. -Rumi
Using Creative Power.
It is when you are really living in the present - working, thinking, lost, absorbed in something you care about very much, that you are living spiritually....For I know that the energy of the creative impulse comes from love and all its manifestations - admiration, compassion, glowing respect, gratitude, praise, tenderness, adoration, enthusiasm. And why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold, and compassionate.

It's cold out here and he feels there is a warm place nearby, but can't tell which way to head in the dark. All of the trees look the same in all directions. If he were to pick a direction even at random out of desperation he could find himself right back where he began, and most likely wouldn't even realize it. He had a friend who would know, who could follow a path, but that was long ago. Now, he cannot even find the start. He will wait some more, wait and see. In the midst of these trees, in the dark.

Causes me to lose focus.
Focus.
Drink in the experience.
No distractions.
Only my own to reign in and explore.

In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way the world is made.
