To Create or Not Create

Shifting modes and finding hope

I keep starting to write, stopping, and then putting away everything, telling myself that I’ll be inspired soon. Closing all devices to be present is a good thing, right?

I’ve noticed that depending on where I am, the mode in which I create shifts as well. I read about the fox in an Animal Speak book because I kept seeing one before I left for New Mexico. The fox is all about shapeshifting, charming and feminine energy. So maybe my fox friend was showing me I’m about to shift in creation?

That doesn’t mean I won’t create at all…I’m typing right now, so *creation*

But, maybe my being wants to release the past ways I’ve created, painting *cough cough* to discover a new way that I want to create.

I’ve prided myself on my ability to create in almost every medium, but lately I’ve had to pause and question if the act of creating has been so strong that I haven’t taken the time to truly appreciate and understand the mediums in which we are capable of creating.

Does any of this make sense?

It’s tied to my experience of ritual. I don’t believe there is anything that we must do in order to build our worth. But, I do appreciate the sacredness of rituals that we are drawn to. Similar to creation. I think there is nothing you must do in order to be worthy of being an artist, creator, whatever word fits for you.

The common thread between artists of any medium is the desire to create. And that desire leads us to experimenting with putting something out into the world. What causes this desire? I don’t know. Part of me believes it is through another desire that to connect. If we can bring forth into the 3D, something from our own minds, we might build a bridge of connection, feel seen, heard, understood. Through we creation, however that looks, will bring us closer to oneness.
