Anything you do with the intention of refining it to the highest level of integration and beauty draws on who you are as a creative being.
FOMO (fear of missing out) imprisons many of us in media mode as we strive to keep a finger on the pulse of ever-expanding information dissemination. A sort of numb indifference to our enslavement has us in its grip as we appear mesmerized by the generation and reception of ceaseless trivia.
To be sure much of value is apparent in having immediate contact with loved ones, but when the call of mobile, tablet or smart phone overrides who we are as beings of depth and inwardness we shut doors on a vital aspect of our humanity.
It is inevitable that we are destined to invoke a counter-initiative, one in which we rediscover the value of doing simple tactile things -- slowly, thoughtfully, carefully. In a word "the old fashioned" way. And when such activities are proactively attuned to the needs of the planet we take steps towards restoring balance to ourselves and the world we inhabit.
Few will dispute our ability to create and be creative sets us aside from the animal kingdom. Whilst it is true there are some exquisite "creations" and designs in nature (bird's nests, termite colonies) these are entirely "functional." Only humans create abstractly and for purposes apparently devoid of survival value.
Could it be though that by drawing on our inner selves to fashion things, ideas, artifacts, flower arrangements, melodies, patterns, paintings, recipes we align with the great Design Intelligence of existence?
For a time, whilst in creative mode, the ceaseless clamor to know what's going on around us in the media cloud is stilled. Fundamental energies of who we are as beings re-emerge and a saner orientation toward living asserts.
Above all we should not judge our creations -- who but ourselves know the sincerity with which we went to work?
Some would counter they have little time for creative pursuits in today's hurried world but we need to expand our notion of what constitutes a creative act. Mowing the lawn, cooking a meal, making the bed are all areas that invite fresh approaches. Our creativity always empowers us to discover the inner mystery of finding new ways of doing ordinary things.
