Po“Creativity is free play with no rules”
This speaks to me
This frees me to be who I am
To create what I want
Not to judge myself or my work
Creating should be fun, not a burden
Creating should bring us joy
Rules create restrictions
And creativity needs freedom
When we create
There is no right or wrong
What we create is a reflection of who we are
Others may not understand it
Or may be critical of it
But that should not discourage us
What we create is valuable at all times
Sometimes the finished work may not be what we expected
Sometimes we learn a lesson we can apply later
But continuing to create is the way to success
Success in sharing our voice
Success in being a conduit for the forces of the universe
So, let’s play
Let’s create and be joyful
Let’s not worry about rules
As they say, rules are made to be broken
There would be no innovation
If everyone kept doing the same thing
