creativity 

is to sit by the waters of the unconscious,

to meditatively go fishing.

what will you catch?

what will you bring back 

for the rest of us?

oh,

and do you remember that parable in which the Christ fed thousands,

with but a few fish?

this is what creativity is.

no, 

man shall not live by bread alone —

we might all be sustained in plenty

feasting upon the very same 

creative flesh.

this world needs more fishermen.

we are starving,

but we may be fed

if only a few brave souls

would sit and wait patiently —

for the ocean always provides.

…

The personal unconscious is the very definition of the ocean contained within a drop, and the collective unconscious is the very definition of the ocean created by us all as droplets–

all in the one, one in the all. 

artists are those who speak the voice of the collective, 

to dive inward and retrieve what is common to all of humanity. 

how brave it is

how glorious

for each time their heart is spoken

the choir of the universe sings through their solo.
