Creativity

It, an idea, starts out like an old bathroom sink. Everything is functioning, your mind says, but it is ugly, it is depressing, it needs oomph! Your mind grabs that thought as a sign of hope!

Yes, you ruminate, I could replace the sink and the counter for a few dollars.
If I left all other things in place, and get a new free standing sink, I could afford to paint and put some sparkle in this place.

Eureka!

Ah, how one little change, one little improvement  has caused people to redo the entire house!
And get divorced!
And tie themselves down to the same job for another thirty years!

We crave change.
We taste new seasons before they arrive.
We dream in technicolor.
We paint in hopeful strokes.

Creativity helps us see beyond now.
And that feeds us through the night.
