Trust Your Own Creativity

"Art is an attitude, a way of looking at life and yourself. Trust your own creativity. To be creative, what is that? It means to get deeply in touch with your guts, your soul, your sensory life...to be affected by everything so that it moves you."
-- Robert Alexander

This morning, a mere two weeks and five days since our beloved Red Sox had clinched their second World Series in a matter of three years, my husband and I were having breakfast with our nearly-eight-year-old youngest daughter. Hearing Bob Dylan on the iPod, my daughter asked, "Hey, Pop, does Bob Dylan have a baseball Theme Time Radio show?" "Sure enough he does," my husband let her know. "It was the fourth show he recorded." And from there, with Chance Halladay singing his 1959 Rockabilly hit "Home Run," our rhythm-gifted child danced and shoulder-shaked her way to happiness - her style. I thought first about my beloved rhythm-gifted father and then said aloud, "Hey, Séarlait, Geeps is watching you from heaven! You go, Girl!" And then there was sheer, creative bliss for all of us.

When your creativity comes, trust it, use it, celebrate it. Hot Diggety Dog!
