Welcome to Episode #116:

This podcast share has been percolating for some time. Over the year I have found myself musing about creativity and the importance of opening up space in our busy lives to not only make beautiful things, but to be available to our creativity as a way to keep steady as technological advancements continue to shift our lives in various directions. 

I love that we get to have this experience and make choices along the way. Do you remember dial up Internet and how slow it was? And now we can use this incredible resource to our advantage. We can make things happen. We can be many things, all at once. It is exciting and yet, to thrive we will need to create beautiful openings in our lives to not let it undermine our ability to be creative, to be sovereign and unique as life moves us forward. 

I guess this share is about many things. It is about the necessity of creativity and the fact that great art and writing and books are beautiful things to hold onto and to be a part of. I want to share this sense that I have, that being on a creative quest is important and vital and nourishing as the noise around us gets louder vying for our attention, that we do have our own bounty of inner resources to tap into. 

Regardless, I am feeling that it is time to get creative and make beautiful things. That could be our legacy as things leap and change and grow in the coming years...
