Creativity Soothing the Soul




"It felt so huge, so significant, to share such an awful part 
of myself with him ... to be so unbalanced, and to know 
that I could trust him to be my counterweight."
Caleb Roehrig

In our complicated world, our over loaded mind longs for a safe place where it can release a long stream of words, uncensored. A portion of the words we really don't mean, but the freedom in letting go blows off steam.

There are those surrounded by colleagues or friends and yet no one to listen with respect.  We may have a trusted group uplifting us, but still, there remains information best kept hidden.  Between fear and ego, our best self becomes compromised.

It doesn't matter what level of creativity we house.  The important factor is to use it fully with perfection out of our work.  There are emotions to be revealed in private journals, splattered paint, and out of tune pianos.  Bakers and gardeners have colorful visions as do carpenters and accountants.  What is it that soothes the soul awaiting discovery?
