Creativity

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. -- George Lois

It's a little ironic that this time of year, the deep of winter, is when our society chooses to focus on change. You have fall, when all the trees shed their leaves; spring, when everything blushes with new life; and summer, when everything is literally brimming with light and life. And yet, we choose winter, the darkest of seasons, to celebrate the eternal spirit of change. Strange.

But this is the time of year we celebrate the universal force of change. The force that created the universe. The force that created the Earth. The force that created us. Quite a powerful force.

I like a little quote from Rent. One of the main characters states in a ecstatic epiphany, "Peace isn't the opposite of war. Creation is!" Creation, change. It's all the same. The same driving force.

And if creation and change are the Tao, then one had better learn cope with its waves. It'll make life a whole lot easier. Because you can't stop the waves of life. But you can learn how to surf.

Namaste.
