Without This What Do We Have?

Without this what do we have?

Is illness a cure for wellness?

How is it we can clean the air in just a few months? Thin out the pollution in some of the most contaminated places on the planet—in a split second of time—after years and years of contamination… lifted?

Birds sing.

[People in Punjab, India say they can see the snow peaks of the Himalayas, a view that for decades has been blocked by air pollution.]

When we collectively respond the shaking of the world decreases.

When we individually align with our creativity, we affect the world’s creation.

My life as an artist is how I come alive – my intelligence expands – my optimism grows – my desires throb – the walls I’ve created around me, as if to protect me, dissolve.

When a nightmare tells me, I cannot be a creator and the stage goes black, I fear I will detach, be detached forever...

I will lose this.

Without this what do we have?

We have power.

Could we ever have imagined we could have such an effect, such power, first to get the world shaking and then to lessen its shaking?

If the world crisis hadn’t happened, we would not have experienced our power.

We would have left our power with the politics of the day to tell us who we are, who we should be, how we should empower the idea of power.

Turning away from ourselves

Turning away from nature

While losing the greatest power of all… creation.

Forced to disengage from our old ways reminds us to dream,

to imagine beauty and possibility,

before us.

The beauty and possibility that we are…

If we lose that we lose our innate intelligence. We lose the loving arms of nature.

Loving though… she will let us fall when she has a bigger agenda.

She will send us back in—to ourselves.

Return us to who we are, give us back the power that aligns us with her, in a split second, she will give us all of that, if we will receive it.

Continue to receive it… the power you actually have…

Come back…

the world is changing because nature is returning,

we can believe in our own creation simply by aligning with nature,

by aligning with what’s here.

The power of the universe is the power of creation in you—your artistry is your wings.

You are her nature, her evolution… and, shhh, don’t tell her what you want her to do, listen to what she wants… and align.

Let her become you.

Respectfully.

As a creative collective or collective of creatives when we empower nature, we power the nature in us.

We can play dumb (pretend to be dumb like King Lear’s “fool” witnessing his loving master go mad), be led by the power of others who have ideas about how we can empower them…

Or be invited into the power of our own creation and languish in it, drink it, honor it, dissolve into it by becoming our own.

Turn it into art.

Somehow creation seems to have grown much, much bigger… by view of Himalayas

Empower your nature through creating.
