Creatively Thinking

  Featured image:   White Feather Each morning my life becomes transformed and I awake to mother nature once again becoming new. If anyone wonders what new and authentic, and one-of-a-kind is, watch the day begin. Watch the sun rise. I watched this morning as a tiny white feather floated from nowhere down to the earth. It was so small, once a part of flight and living, now to become once again part of the miracle of earth, nature and creation. Natural things like this one are hard to recreate for an artist. For me, it is the idea of receiving a gift such as a floating feather and sharing it with others, one way or another.

Meadows filled with an overflow of different kinds of flowers intermixing is nature’s way of being very creative.  As I pass the wildflower meadows where I take my walks, I see bright magnificent colors of intermingled deep blue greens, yellow greens and whites.   I trust nature, like I trust those in the middle who honor and respect choice and the individual.  I trust nature, the natural space of the earth, water and trees, bugs, birds and critters.  I trust nature with its wind, rain and snow.

Fresh, exciting ideas don’t pop into my head very often, but when they do I am ever so grateful. My blog, “Oh It’s Just,” has led me on a wonderful journey of exploring birds. I have been painting birds for quite some time now and the ideas keep flowing. I wonder if they will all become something other than a sketch. But my heart is filled with hope – and I continue………. “Hope  is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” Emily Dickinson.

So when you are reading a history about something, ask yourself, "Does this historian ask a how questions or why questions and write accordingly or does this historian ask why questions, causing them to come up with predetermined answers that follow a linear thought process?" Ask yourself, "Why are historical museums organized in a linear pattern rather that in a pattern that more resembles a rhizome?" There is the root and then branches of possibilities.
