The Saturday Morning Post: Love and Creativity

 

Happy Valentines Day, 

May and Yours be surrounded with Love today. 

What to post about creativity on Valentines Day? 

How does creativity relate to love?

Love requires being creative. Thinking about what the other person likes, and how to provide it. Finding the things that bring both persons joy. When love is challenged, and it happens, we need to dig deep into our creative process to find the common ground, to create an atmosphere that allows healing and love. To fill the senses of both parties with pleasure, hope, acceptance, forgiveness. 

    I better be careful or this will start to sound like a Monday post.

Some art is created to illustrate love. Portraits, art of passion, art of beauty, tenderness, and sacrifice are symbols of love we often create. For writers and filmmakers, romance is a best selling creative fiction category. I sold a house to a couple that wrote pornographic fiction for a living, they were passionately in love with one another.

Many of us love creating art, love cooking, love writing, love photography, love filmmaking. This is not romantic love, or is it? We have all know someone who seemed to be married to their work.  And as much fun as creating can be, it is also work. It maybe our life's work, or it may be the work that fills our "free time." 

Find time today, to express your love in creative ways, your love of another person, your love of creating, your love of life. 

The First Step is always to Begin Anyway, thank you Dianne for the post of the week.
