Dialogue with my muse |
You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart.~Gary Zukav JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. What are you thinking about today? JOE: I'm thinking about thinking and its limitations. I ran across the above quote by Gary Zukav and realized the limitation of thinking in the creative process. CALLIOPE: Please elaborate. JOE: I'd be glad to. Sometimes when I am ready to write I rack my mind for ideas and thoughts. Sometimes nothing emerges. CALLIOPE: Then what do you do? JOE: Turn off my mind and seek experiences, one of which will often inspire me to write something. CALLIOPE: How well does that work? JOE: I'm happy with it. I often find better topics through unexpected experiences than I do by trying to force my mind to think about something. CALLIOPE: Sounds like serendipity. JOE: It certainly does. Even the word serendipity conveys a sense of peaceful play. CALLIOPE: So you enjoy wandering? JOE: I do. I like the feeling of meandering with no particular goal and no pressure. CALLIOPE: More people should try it. JOE: I agree. Talk with you on Monday. |
