Fine writing, brother, so many turns of phrase made me smile. I loved the delve into childhood, and was pulled there myself. "Gather a bucket and string to lower myself into the unknown..." There's so much to learn in re-visiting our early creature self, before other programming got loaded in!
Beautiful, Adam. I’m sure all your readers will find something personal, wonderfully relatable and encouraging in this piece. Thank you, as always, for sharing from your GREAT BIG heart ♥️
Fantastic piece, Adam. There are so many nuggets in here that resonate with me. I love the analogy of a river vs a dam. It has me reflecting on one of my favourite quotes, by Hecato of Rhodes, some 25 centuries ago: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." How we engage with the river (our creativity) may change with time as we grow, evolve, overcome, etc., but there ought to be no doubt the river is still there. Thank you for inspiring the rest of us by sharing your creative acts - keep up the great work!
I love that quote, Spencer, and I really appreciate your support and the kind words. I can't wait to see what you create in the weeks and months ahead!
Without confronting risk or fear, our creativity is at risk of stagnating. It’s an everlasting push and pull between creating within our comfort zone and daring to be bold enough to step outside it. I very much feel this push and pull and your piece illustrated that beautifully.
