The point of living a creative life – rather than just engaging in creative pursuits on occasion – is not merely to produce aesthetically pleasing artifacts, but to bind one’s creative work and living experience as two dimensions of the same life in all its details, always unfolding and evolving in parallel.

Each of us is a creative soul. Some have tapped into that creativity while some are unaware they have it or deny they have it. As a photographer I see it as a gift to create/capture images that are pleasing, draw out emotions (yours and mine), and show the beauty of nature through photography. And, we all can do that. I really like the word “bind” that Guy Tal uses in his quote. So, as a prayer this morning I would ask for the binding of my creative works with my living experiences.
Well Nature decided to share with us a few more snowflakes before officially moving into spring. As you can see the bench I sit on to journal is not quite as inviting this morning. Have a wonderful day and Happy Earth Day! Stay warm.

A very pretty snow scene but, Nature!, enough already!

Nature is so unpredictable, a mind of its own. But then again, it will be a surprise at what it brings next. Today is beautiful but rain coming later. And, I’m okay with the rain.

I’d say you need to carry a little broom with you and that bench will open right up. 🙂

Now that is a good idea, Mark. Maybe a space heater, too. LOL
