P.S. I love you

That’s the matinée I lost myself in yesterday. I loved it. Yes, it’s a chick flick, by traditional standards of movie categorization. But I’m not into keeping track of those sorts of details. Do you know when you are sitting in a movie thinking, they wrote this movie for me? Well, so many times yesterday, I thought that. It’s like the next gems on my journey were waiting for me in that movie.

I love how Holly described her need to create. It stirred in me my own feelings on creation. It doesn’t matter what gets created, whether it be shoes or art, words or music. It’s the processing of pouring your heart into something and sending it out into the world… something that you can then point to and say, “Look, I created that… See? That’s me!” And all the while, you are changed by having created it. You have come to know yourself at a deeper level. And others who come in contact with your creation do too.

The gem for me yesterday was to realize that creating alone isn’t fun for me. I’ve sung that song for years… thinking that I could do it better myself. But now I know that the solo act exhausts me. Not only do I isolate myself from others, I isolate myself from Spirit. Little flows to me in states of depletion. Often I need to create where it is quiet. But quiet doesn’t mean alone… left to my own physical resources. Quiet simply means, I quiet my mind enough to let Spirit flow through me. And then — and here’s been my missing link — I must invite others to join me.

We are meant to co-create — to blend energies in rainbows of colours. To trust the kindred spirits we meet on the path and walk a while with them. Where in your life do you walk alone?
P.S. I love you.
