Abstract

ing without creating anything, we might hide more and more of ourselves till we completely disengage from this world.If we were to keep creating while staying numb to the current state of the world, we’ll just be pushing more and more of what our minds want into the world, not what our whole selves yearn to create.In the first three decades of my life, I behaved as an obliging sheep, a ‘Yes!’ woman.

They are both sides of the same coin

I see our sensitivity and creativity as two sides of the same coin — one cannot exist without the other.

We often create in response to what we sense is happening in our personal lives or in the collective energies. And our process of creating intuitively can be used as a way to process our sensitivity too.

If we were to keep sensing without creating anything, we might hide more and more of ourselves till we completely disengage from this world.

If we were to keep creating while staying numb to the current state of the world, we’ll just be pushing more and more of what our minds want into the world, not what our whole selves yearn to create.

I need to keep feeling as I keep creating, and keep creating as I keep feeling.
