Sometimes it's easy to forget that the world is a constant mass of writhing organisms, constantly changing and evolving into different forms. I suppose it's what people mean when they say "back in my day", as their 'day' felt a lot different to the now. Of course there are tangible changes being made at all times, but I had the pleasure this week of experiencing a more ethereal form of nostalgia.
I'm sure we've all heard it before, but sometimes coming up with a creative idea is as difficult as any other test of skill. Maybe you've heard the stories about writers staring at blank pages, artists gazing over white canvas, or musicians droning through random noise. There are times that the pursuit of an idea can feel impossibly unsurmountable, but then there are times when the dam bursts, and the rush is beyond euphoric.
Cleverness is a social plague that often does more damage than good. We forget about kindness and positivity when we're too busy trying to out savvy the next person. Perhaps it's a symptom of social media and unlimited connectivity, but I think we can do something about it with a conscious choice.
Almost didn't end up with a post this week as it's been a great day of hanging with my family, seeing some great art, and eating some delicious food. Sometimes the real world comes knocking and I'm always up to shift focus when the opportunity presents itself.
Part of me feels like launching into a string of nonsensical words and signals to be correct in expression this week. Suffice to say, forming a sentence feels a little odd right now. You know when you repeat a word over and over until it becomes a meaningless collection of letters or sound? Yeah, that's now.
