Creativity and beautiful living

Written by

To be somebody is to create life
In the virtual world or by physical material
It is to give it a new form
That touches other people’s lives
Because it stirs their emotions
Speaking with or without words
Making the imagination pregnant
Releasing exuberant joy
And fruitful ideas of the heart
Generating new forms of life

To be somebody is releasing others into creative living
By rejecting the self-absorbed life
For a life of generosity and nobility
The great things of a creative life
Come out of small acts of faithfulness and love
Every creative act is created in a generous heart
Not out of selfishness or self-indulgence
Creativity and generosity always result in a work of beauty

    Great poem, Erling, I believe what is says! I showed my own blog to a friend recently, and she just didn’t see the aspect of sharing, making known the good things in life, giving of yourself. She only saw it as strange idea and an egocentric act. I believe in lifting up and generously share whatever good you’ve got. I believe in the potential we all have in touching and changing one another this way. (I believe it even more for seing you living it out!) I also believe you can reject these principles and even reject those saying such things as naive or “over-positive”. But that will only make your life less a blessing and yourself less blessed.
