Natural Creativity

“Creativity and the natural world are a direct reflection of who we are deep to our marrow and cells: informing and inspiring.”

Creativity and the natural world are a direct reflection of who we are deep to our marrow and cells: informing and inspiring. This is where we hear and tell our stories, mark our paths and find our lineage. Here too is where we lose ourselves in flow, revived in our organic and intuitive ways of being. 

“The creative mind much like nature has a regenerative way of being, though sometimes dormant, always there in waiting: resolute and inspiring.” 

Natural creativity resonates, piercing our skin as it pierces our senses, upending thought and emotion. It drives our desire for change as it smooths the edges for sameness and security, allowing our needs to be met while questioning those very needs. Creativity is a double edged sword, used for building as well as destroying. The creative mind much like nature has a regenerative way of being, though sometimes dormant, always there in waiting: resolute and inspiring. 


Enhanced Well Being

“Through the hand created we see who we are, our innate capabilities of intuition and awe, humility and ego.”

The way we live is a reflection of how we see ourselves, our approach to living life and our desires for the future. To surround oneself with beauty is to be inspired, curious and even hopeful. Through the hand created we see who we are, our innate capabilities of intuition and awe, humility and ego. To live with and touch objects of beauty taps into the deepest self, sparking the mind and pulling at emotions, enhancing well being. This is where the intuitive self meets the outer world: the physical manifestation of emotion, revery and awe. 

“Each of us have the ability to create, to find resolve and to create beauty, born from the stars its vastness is expansive, evolving as we evolve.” 

Deep in the belly of knowing is where the creative languages emerge, arising through the history of evolution and self discovery. The creative mind is innate as blood and bone, enabling the telling of stories and the righting of wrongs. Each of us have the ability to create, to find resolve and to create beauty, born from the stars its vastness expands, evolving as we evolve. 

“If form follows function it’s function that speaks to our needs and form that speaks to our desires.”

The connection between how we live and the hand created object is truly innate, documenting centuries of our being human. If form follows function, it’s function that speaks to our needs and form that speaks to our desires. Regardless of form and function hierarchies, the hand created object speaks to who we are and how we live, inspiring both, giving expression to the otherwise intuitive. The hand created acts as extra extended hand, clearer voice and vision. 

“The hand created acts as extra extended hand, clearer voice and vision.” 

"Take a look at the simplest of objects. Let's take, for example, an old chair. It seems like nothing.

But think of the universe comprised within it: the sweaty hands cutting the wood that used to be a robust tree, full of energy, in the middle of a luxuriant forest by some high mountains. The loving work that built it, the joyful anticipation of the one who bought it, the tired bodies it has helped, the pains and the joys it must have endured, whether in fancy halls or in a humble dining room in your neighborhood.

Everything, everything shares life and has its importance! Even the most worn down of chair carries inside the initial force of the sap climbing from the earth, out there in the forest, and will still be useful the day when, broken into kindling, it burns in some fireplace.”

Antoni Tapies



Weight

“We are weighted by perception, thoughts and emotion, our eyes are funnels, our minds, cartographer and story teller.”

In times of uncertainty it’s beauty that gives us pause, a sense of weight that ties us to purpose and reminds us of meaning. Take a walk under a canopy of trees and one seems grounded, gaze at a painting and breathing is altered, motion stalled and eyes fixed on color and strokes made by the creator.


We are weighted by perception, thoughts and emotion, our eyes are funnels, our minds, cartographer and story teller. We are weighted not only by gravity, but life that holds us and the words we use to describe our experiences.

The weight of life can be overwhelming, but too a sense of presence, being exactly where one needs to be: knowing the weight of meaning, purpose and love.

Meaning And Beauty

“Beauty is the salve that vacillates our longevity, supports our will, shines a light for waning hope.”

The beauty in ife is the meaning we bring to it, the creative languages, nature, those we support and those we love. Beauty is the salve that vacillates our longevity, supports our will, shines a light for waning hope. This is not a romantic notion, it’s held within the mind, felt in the gut and perpetuated by knowing. 




Knowing

“We are made from the stars and of beauty, our way forward is to merely do and to merely, be.” 

It’s not that we are lost nor merely needy, it’s that we choose not to see who we truly are. We have everything we need, the task then is to surround ourselves with what supports and mimics the already within. We are made from the stars and of beauty, our way forward is to merely do and to merely, be. 

“Beauty is both reflection and perception that influences the mind, guides the hand and pulls at emotion.”

Beauty and the creative mind shows us who we are and who we can become, an intuitive guide through the terrain of living. Beauty is both reflection and perception that influences the mind, guides the hand and pulls at emotion. Because it is who we are, it too is what we create, a circular motion of cause and affect. The mind knows beauty, as it knows itself: familiarity breeds and blooms. 

“We are not the commander of nature nor the mind, we are its byproduct: spectator and spectacle.”

The beauty of nature in particular is the deepest reflection to who we are, and one of the most profound influences to how we create and otherwise live. It is as cells and marrow, memory and intuition. We are not the commander of nature nor the mind, we are its byproduct: spectator and spectacle. We see the beauty of nature as we see ourselves, mysterious and ever changing. It is no wonder that we attempt to control and tame, as we cannot fully ourselves. 


To fully know beauty and the creative mind is to know who we are, digging deep and listening: pulling roots and planting seeds.
