. . . How do we create? . . .a triangle with corners at Nature, Nurture and Nightmares. Some people would say that we're born with it; others that creativity may be a function of some neurological quirk; part of it also begins with a sense of identity crisis (why I am not Black like everything else in my school class?), with childhood traumas, with expectations. "This led to my big questions: why do things happen, how do they happen, and how do I make them happen? When I look at creativity, my inability to repress associations with everything about me is key". She goes off doing a comparison between quantum mechanics and creativity: "you've alot of unknown; dark energy and dark matter; the observer effect -- if you try too hard what you're hoping to find by serendipity at the end is no longer there; ambiguity; multi-dimensions. Much has to do with intention. You notice disturbing hints from the universe, and then in a way I knew that they've always been there. What I need in effect is a focus. When I have a question, I have a focus, and all these object go through that question

I've been thinking recently that necessity is the mother of invention.

It could be that necessity is the plain face of nightmare, and the offspring of this bland nightmare (or not so bland) is what you speak of: question, focus, and all those (realized) objects.

btw, you brought a big smile to my face...

Alas, I did not write that. I excerpted it from the TED Talk

I suspected that... but you were still the conduit for the info and in this way it represented you. This is what made me smile!

Digital Art Assignment:

Greensh as a board

Greensh as a board in an abandoned house

Greensh as a board across an cistern in an abandoned house

Greensh as a board across an abyss

Greensh on a diving board out to infinity with all the wolf-dogs watching and the cats comfortably airborne all around (like stars)

Where is wulfwalker in the vinettes?

[livejournal.com profile] wulfwalker is the balance in my world. She is the left to my right, the judgment to my intuition, and my lovely mate who cares bunches about me!

How does this work out? When I'm walking across the shaky board or go into the deeper shadows of abandonment, she is the one that says, "be careful!". I say, "when have I not been careful?" Her answer is "often", but sometimes I need to be reminded about being careful even as I plough ahead.

Careful is like responsible. It only make sense the way most people use it if there's a workable context.

Without context, we CARRY our cares rather than hold them as external parameters that indicate the (relatively) safe path.

Some people get stuck by being responsible in a form where they're loaded down with the delegated expectations of everyone else. Lots of reasons . . . but often in our culture it looks to me like it's most often a wrong social geometry or bad habits.

Similar on being careful. Flip the patterns back and forth and you free yourself for options. I alway like your intuitively translated wolfdog/cats on the loose point/counterpoint

Just a thought. I was looking for a differnt (adventure) image of a woman walking a tightrope out into a distance, holding tension on the end of the rope she's standing on . . . It's some Dutch artist, but I can't quite remember at the moment. Some distant day I'll turn it up for you and doubtles post it without explaination

Your digital art assignment prompts some thoughts. While I don't appear in many photos (they can be counted on one hand with fingers to spare!), the fact that I took the majority of the photos show that I was there behind the camera. I am the invisible creator of the final product, and in this way I am unseen part of the product. Hmmm...

This summer I had a new client come on board who's a retired psychiatrist who has studied with The Monroe Institute from it's earliest days but never had a single experience.

He's a lifelong photographer. I have him doing a series of photographic assignments to translate what he already knows in his intuitive right brain and slip it past his super powerful, well educated left brain . . .sort of sending self selected photo postcards across that near infinity between our internal hemispheres.

You were my map for him.
