Following the magic

August 27, 2017

When we follow the creative, magic happens…meeting people we never would have expected, finding ourselves in new places and situations. We’re no longer following a ‘schedule’ or ‘to do’ list, we’re following the beauty and energy of the moment.

Our ego is naturally resistant. It wants us to follow a schedule, get-things-done, and have a life that looks like regimented and proper or just like other people’s lives…so that it can feel safe and comfortable. The truth is, our ego is never going to feel comfortable. It doesn’t want you to have a big life that takes you into uncertain terrain.

But the creative doesn’t care about any of that. The creative is the voice of your Spirit, it will always move you into the most beautiful, expansive, generative terrain.

Last night I had dinner with two new friends and we lingered for several hours after the restaurant closed, sharing our passions for music, the creative process, and the magic of metaphoric wisdom. Click here for a little taste of that magic:
