Solitude days and
Sleepless nights
As I sit and ponder
My mind begins to wonder
A blank screen comes into view
Creation is on cue
Imagination runs wild
Like when I was a child
Unforeseen scenes and things
Develop from my being
The artist within
Creates again
Robert Maestas, 2007
CREATIVITY
According to legend, Michelangelo insisted that his part in creating David--his masterpiece of sculpture--was only to carefully chip away at the marble, uncovering the David that lay within. Within me there is also a masterpiece awaiting expression. As I chip away at limiting thoughts that hinder my creativity, beauty and innovation flow forth.
Something within me is waiting to emerge. During my prayer time I listen for what is seeking expression; then I joyfully engage with whatever surfaces. Creativity takes many forms: writing, music, art, dance, business ventures and inventions. The possibilities are limitless. As I quiet my inner critic, I invite my creativity to come alive and I create my masterpiece.
