Creative Resolve

“Through the creative mind life is illuminated, smoothing our passage forward as we build the now and question the new.”

It is by way of the creative endeavor that we create possibility and resolve, easing the mind and body. Through the creative mind life is illuminated, smoothing our passage forward as we build the now and question the new. The creative mind foresees the future, righting the wrongs of the past as it builds forward through words, technology and the hand created: building the ship while it sails.



To resolve the issues we have before us, it must be the creative mind that is employed, drawing from intuition, empathy and the human condition to thrive. Through beauty, ingenuity and dialogue life is eased, pulling at the thread of who we are, to uplift, inspire and change. 




 
 
 

Connection: People, Places and Things

“Within the realm of connection, we thrive, nourishing ourselves and others as we navigate the terrain of living, onward.”

It is through connection that we feel our most belonging, by way of touch, emotion, scent and vision: people, places and things. Within the realm of connection, we thrive, nourishing ourselves and others as we navigate the terrain of living, onward.

We are creative beings by nature, empathetic and territorial with like minded desires to build better lives and a future of possibility. It is by work, luck and determination that goals are achieved, fueled by a burning need to fulfill and the creative endeavor.

The Creative Endeavor

“Through the creative endeavor we find our way. A light in the everyday living of being human.”

It is through the creative arenas that we express, define and discover what it is to be human in a world governed by dogma and shrouded in discontent. Through the creative endeavor we find our way. A light in the everyday living of being human.

It is by way of the creative gesture that life is elevated, be it clothing, art, furniture or even the rhythm of music. Each arena touches us, physically and emotionally, speaking to the intuition of being human: the gut and the mind.

There is a reason we create and collect, to satiate our senses, our need to communicate and empathy towards others. To be seen. To be heard. To be loved.

“As a species we are fragile, though strong in will and resolve.”

We are the mirror to all we create, beauty and it’s opposite. Grounded within the reality of living, we create stories and objects that ease the uncertain: the unfurling of time, order and chaos. As a species we are fragile, though strong in will and resolve. We create exactly who we are and what we desire, through thought and action, building the new and starting again.

“We each have the capability to create, by way of personal philosophy and act of doing.” 

The direction of our lives is predicated on our mindset, how we interpret and create, our agility and resilience to be molded and to mold. To build and rebuild. It is the creative arenas that allow us to identify and to manifest who we are intrinsically, inspiring, easing and questioning who we are, where we are. We each have the capability to create, by way of personal philosophy and act of doing.

It is the creative mind that shines a light on possibility, creating the new as it ushers the dogmatic aside. We have the ability to create and destroy, to build anew from the rubble of the mind and life itself. It is the creative mind that fuels idea, empathy, hope and the action of doing and change. We are through centuries of evolution creators of forward vision, while simultaneously dogmatic in doctrine, pushing and pulling at what we desire the future to be.

“It is through stimuli that we create, but it is through emotion as to why we create as well as collect.”

The creative mind is a funnel, taking in information and visual influence, both from outside and within. It is through stimuli that we create, but it is through emotion as to why we create as well as collect. Through the creative endeavor we build what we want in this world and what we need: beauty, utility and resolve.
