Creativity and Snow




Creativity is like snow. It falls when the conditions are right. When the season comes, everywhere you go, you can hear its twinkly song. You can walk in it, build things with it, and leave its tracks behind.
Creativity makes even ugly and grey things seem beautiful, smooth and okay. Beautiful. Not like a bride, but, more like a poem.

Writing a poem about a broken heart makes the heart seem more whole; more put together somehow...
Tears captured in a photograph helps bring healing - to those who see them, as well as the one who cried them.
Painting a memory allows the reliving of the moment one last time, and the chance to walk away, knowing you can always return.

Creativity covers things that seem to offer death - and it makes them into something musical and good. Isn't creativity wonderful?


The only sad part about the season of creativity is when it melts away.

Oh wait wait! Tiff, I´m writing this to you from Central America (Honduras). Do you remember that rap we wrote together in 9th grade? It´s been in my head ALL WEEK. I thought you´d enjoy knowing that. You´ve been in my thoughts the whole time! Love ya! P
