The creative endeavor is a means of mapping and equanimity. Finding joy, seeing the ugly, and creating beauty. It’s not only about creating, which satiates a need to express but what the creating can do, beyond object into insight, inspiration, and resolve, our internal compass that pushes and pulls, towards the way that is, and isn’t.

“We are creative beings, born of energy, consuming and producing till the energy leaves the body.”
NOURISH Gallery | Carl Barnett
We have lost our way from who we are, built a maze of walls and doors. Dug out who we are from the onset of the industrial revolution. We are creative beings, born of energy, consuming and producing till the energy leaves the body. What we do with this energy, our creativity, is key, how we live our lives: the why before the what. We are intrinsic to beauty, energy, and creation. This is who we are, and what we innately do: the possibilities of being human and our humanity.

“To resolve the issues at hand we must create new systems, taking cues from who we are, and nature itself.”

The creative endeavor opens up doors into the future and to ourselves, allowing us to see with clarity what’s before us and within. To see injustice and beauty existing in the same realm of living life and finding purpose. We are creative beings, we create and destroy, find a better way and repeat. To resolve the issues at hand we must create new systems, taking cues from who we are, and nature itself. The issues we see stem from who we are and the machine we’ve created, which speaks little to the human condition. To do better, we must be better, at seeing ourselves and the impact we have. Living our lives, deeper, and fuller, through the creative mind.
“We are creative beings, what we’ve created we can recreate in a better way.”
If we are to change the reality of today, we must see who we are within it, difficult or not, while we create the changes that we need to see. Who are we in the bigger picture and beneath the lens of introspection, is what we need to be exploring, acknowledging our hand in the cause and effect. We are creative beings, what we’ve created we can recreate in a better way. Creativity and time are not linear, each can be manipulated by action of will. Though time is finite for each of us, creativity and time are links in a chain, influenced by what came before it, not to be broken, only altered. With this we find opportunities to learn and expand on who we are, and where we’ve been, offering clarity on where we need to go.

“The difficulties we see are those we’ve created, and those we can alter through the creative mind, responsibility, and the human nature of will.”

Though the future always seems daunting it’s the here and now that gives way to change, through acts of building legislation that counter our being human. The difficulties we see are those we’ve created, and those we can alter through the creative mind, responsibility, and the human nature of will.
Beauty has a place within all that we encounter, all we create and choose to see.
