AOM Meditations: 100517
by Claude Monet
Thanks to our Friend for sending us this beautiful art
~*~
Creativity is the spark of life,
the vitality that stirs desires to improve
and change the status quo--
meaningfully, responsibly, wisely, and with impact.
~Marci Segal
(Creativity and Personality Type)
~*~
Everyone is born creative;
everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away
and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc.
Being suddenly hit years later with the "creative bug"
is just a wee voice telling you,
"I'd like my crayons back, please."
~Hugh MacLeod
(Ignore Everybody)
~*~
But unless we are creators we are not fully alive.
What do I mean by creators?
Not only artists, whose acts of creation
are the obvious ones of working with paint, or clay or words.
Creativity is a way of living life,
no matter our vocation or how we earn our living.
Creativity is not limited to the arts,
or having some kind of important career.
~Madeleine L'Engle
(Walking on Water)
~*~
Don't let the title of the following video
or the first couple of minutes of it fool you
While this video discusses
the creative process of writers, artists, and musicians
As I watched and listened,
I found good instructions about living life creatively
Which is what we all do each day
Whether you know it or not
You are CREATIVE

"What can one say about goodness? It's tempting to say that it's a dying character trait, that the world is suffering from a dearth of goodness these days, but I don't believe that for a second. We're so overwhelmed with the horrible things that the people involved in the news media consider to be news that we tend to forget just how much goodness is out there. Charles Kuralt said that the kindness found on the back roads more than makes up for the terrible things found in the headlines. My personal theory is that fewer than one percent of the population (politicians, criminals, entertainers, athletes) make up over 95% of the news we read. Perhaps the percentage is even higher, but I haven't had time to do the necessary research.
The world is full of wonderful people--not just good--and if we're to keep our minds focused on the beauty and the good, we have to choose to do so. We have to choose what we're going to read, which movies we're going to see, which TV shows to watch, which people we're going to talk to. Focus on good things for a week, and see the effect of doing so on your own perspective--you'll be amazed at just how much good you see when you're looking for it! Perhaps you'll see enough to make you want to continue looking for it even after the week is over.
And while you're looking for goodness, you might want to spend some time spreading it, too. It's free, and it's pretty easy. A compliment here, a bit of encouragement there, a good deed for this person, a little favor for that one, and you'll be amazed at the effect you have on others. The world would be a great place if everyone were focused on spreading goodness, and the spreading has to start somewhere--let's start it with us!"

AOM Meditations: 101617
“Lotus” by Nicholas Roerich
~*~
Trying to fix yourself is a form of judgment
and judgment will keep you
eternally imprisoned within separation.
Awakening is not about fixing yourself.
It is about revealing every aspect of yourself
with love, acceptance and compassion.
~Leonard Jacobson
~*~
Only perseverance can move a great weight
Even if you cannot get it there
Value can still be discovered in the effort
Perseverance through adversity
Creates strength of character beyond measure
~SEC Inside
~*~
Listen to the Silence
Be dazed and amazed
Bow down before it's mighty roar
In that Deafening Silence
Is The Eternal Moment
Moment without end
