There are so many ways to unlock one's creativity, not just one's own, but others too. A wonderful way to get there is to offer a space, where playful explorations can be encouraged. A space literally or in your mind...It can be a meeting with like minded friends, a basement, where messes can be made, where art supplies are not locked up in a closet, but made easily accessible, lots of discussions, an open mind to the strangest subjects, sharing of dreams and thoughts, rather often unheard of....Walking the city or rambling odd sites....
Seeing things in a different light and really looking for a new prospective. All this makes life so much more interesting and unleashes at the best of times our wildest imaginations and creativity!
And maybe even these stormy days will blow away some of the road blocks in my creativity....
I keep my mind open.
And smile.

Hello Victoria:
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right when you suggest that to take up any kind of creative activity is to unleash new energies and give new perspectives on the world. It really can be a breath of fresh air to the system as well as the soul.
Just this past weekend, in conversation with an artist friend, the idea of going through the fear barrier to try one's hand at painting was discussed. And, in much the same way as you suggest here, he was encouraging simply 'having a go'.....who knows what the result may be, he argued....a new you perhaps?!!!
