Essential Pausing

The greatest creativity comes from the in-between. The not doing, not trying, not working space.

Wrestling with a problem is exactly that. Wrestling with a problem. It is only when we let it go that the answer comes.

The difficulty is found in the willingness to let go. When every fibre of our being says keep working it. Keep holding tight.

The walk around the lake, the baking of a cake, the attention to any form of beauty, this is where we will find the solution. It may come in minutes, it may take days. But in beauty and pausing, stepping into the infinite, the answer is to be found.

PS. You may have noticed I took a pause. It was essential to my being and to the future body of work to remain coherent and in integrity. While I will continue to write Beauty, it may not be every day. I seek now to write when there is something to be said. I appreciate your readership.
