Creativity
A Haiku
Point of fearlessness
Defining my out-o-box
Living life my way
Author’s Note:
Being creative is a way of life.I have realised in my two years journey of staying seriously creative, I always thought the way I do, but was not mindful of it.
Many years prior, I was afraid of expressing myself, in the fear that I will be isolated. I slowly understood, how I thought was my unique self, seeing and feeling the world the way my system/soul related.
I saw a story, when others saw a bird,I wanted to know how tress had their conversations, how without holding a single meeting, nature followed its discipline without fail.
What I saw, what I imagined, they way I saw them was unique to me, from where my creativity is born.Though my writing poetry and painting my thoughts are an extension of that self in me, I always found happiness in even putting a photo up in the wall, which added character to my room, or presenting a mundane dish with garnishes/decoration for an ordinary meal which will make my heart dance.
The way these few months unfolded in front of my eye, I have stopped examining things too closely and started believing in the magic of creativity, where it is not necessary to logic-ize but feel life the way life flows.And that has come to define creativity for me.As Ursula Leguin rightly quoted,”A creative adult is a child that survived.”
Being creative is not about a constant struggle to be out-of-box, but be in the box which belongs to you struggle-less.Its about being YOU.
Painting: Being a Van Gogh fan , I wish to paint at least one sunflower to my hearts delight one day. And the process continues….
Thank you and American Haiku for creating this amazing place for self-expression and publishing my poem.
Thank you for taking note.
