creativity

millie shows me a human figure with beautiful flowers bursting out of the chest, flowing from the ears, appearing from what seems to be nowhere and filling the space all around the person.

"you need to let your creativity flow.  it wants to be free.  it wants to be manifest."


how do I let it flow?

she shows me the same human figure, carefully and methodically setting a brick on top of each flower as it appears, crushing it.

"all you need to do is stop stifling it.  you are all amazingly creative creatures.  you are powerful.  get out of  your own way.  unleash your creative powers.  the bricks are all of the things you block yourself with, all of the ways you tell yourself no, shouldn't, mustn't, can't.  allow yourself, free yourself, create your world and let it flow.  it takes more effort to block your creativity than to release it and allow it to move freely."


she shows me the human figure again, now resting on the ground, totally at ease.  flowers are growing from the figure, sprouting up from every surface, without any effort, just growing like crazy.

"it doesn't have to be hard.  let it be easy."


thank you, millie.
