Hello Creative Friends,
Is Art Making and Life Making always active? When we think of an artist, we think of someone painting, composing or dancing. When we think of someone living we think of them out and about, working, running errands, and traveling. The truth however, is that massive creative aspects of our art and lives are not active. They are quiet, internal... pregnant with something.
The culture does a poor job of educating us on this aspect of making life and art. Whole societies of people completely skim over the quiet, internal creative work that is so important to making new things. This sounds inconsequential, until you consider it in other terms. Imagine going into active labor with a human child and then once it was over, going into labor again. And again.
It sounds silly, and yet look around at the planet. There is evidence of human, social and systemic breakdown that absolutely results from unsustainable creative cycles such as perpetual labor without pause. How would our lives change irrevocably for the better as we learned to honor and tend to pregnancy periods in our lives and art?
