paminspired, although a process, and a possible birthing one, I know it definitely failed, here is andreadully when can I come? *** oh it is fun to write! - I got inspired a few days ago by Julia Cameron newest book called "Walking in this world" (practical strategies for creativity). In one chapter she talks about becoming larger, redrawing the boundaries within which we live, gives exercises to get in touch with our dreams about ourselves and our talents, ... something like: fill in the missing words -- 1. If I let myself admit it, I think I have a secret gift for ______ .... then talked about herself having been a writer for so long and suddenly she started to compose music (people thought she is gone bazooka).... then I thought, wow ... that's wild, yeah, I mean I am drawing and painting now, but what else could I do? ... I think I could be a wild performer, actress or something like that ... uiuiui ... I said it :-) what about you pam and other readers of these mails, how about your secret dreams???? warmly and curiously andreadullyhump ---------- Von: "Pam Danson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: "Andrea Courvoisier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Betreff: Re: new villagewell topic for january Datum: Mon, 20. Jan 2003 0:05 Uhr andreadully,New Village-Well topic for January called: "Typewriting on a Banana"¨ Hi Village-Well fans, this is Andrea from Swizerland/Denmark, yesterday I was trying to think about some clever research question about creativity without much success. As it got late and I watched a movie, I got help from one of the main characters who in order to make her point said in a conversation: Talking about music is like dancing about architecture ... well, I thought: Talking about creativity is like typewriting on a banana, hihi.... I am an artist and I would like to talk about "typewriting on a banana". I am immersed a lot these days in drawing and painting in my art studio and I feel a bit blanc in my brain and yet I want to typewrite on a banana -- talk about creativit with you. - I will ramble a bit about my experiences and thoughts and I am looking forward to hear about your thoughts, questions, ramblings and imputs. One of the biggest things for me about creativity is the in my opinion the much needed talent to be with your own fears, to just bear them and bear yourself and wait. - It is the fear of the unknown it seems to me, of the yet unborn I think, ... creating the challenge to let loose from a known frame, ... it takes awareness of my fears, from extremely subtle to strong fears. - To hold the fear in the knowing would Eckhart Tolle say, just noticing, acknowleging... and yet be open for flickers and flirts that might lead me to a form, a line, a color .... - Being present with what is, being present with the fears around what is, .... what a fascinating training that is for me, so wonderful and frightening and challenging, each time anew. What do I wanna know about creativity? - creativity seems like waking up in the morning and remembering a bizarre dream, - bum - , something moving in, from god knows where. I feel in awe about it, don't find questions ... There is something about the alteredness I enjoy in being creative. Being taken out of a habitual way of perceiving. - How do altered states, fear and creativity connect? I ask cause I feel really altered right now, tired, spaced out, listening to odd sounds of the heating system, and I just imagined to follow that alteredness, dive into these odd perceptions and write a poem ..... I am looking forward to your thoughts and ideas! much love andrea |
