Blossoming: January 2011

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.

Seeking Truth and Beauty

Adam Kirsch, in his 12.31.10 New York Times Sunday Book Review article, The Will Not to Power, But to Self-Understanding, beautifully says:
Whether I am writing verse or prose, I try to believe that what matters is not exercising influence or force, but writing well - that is, truthfully and beautifully; and that maybe, if you seek truth and beauty, all the rest will be added unto you.

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.
