This is a love letter to all creatives who exist in a world of wonder; noticing and seeing and hearing and reveling in miracles, coincidences, sounds and patterns. I can’t imagine being in a subdued state, oblivious to surprise. On a recent walk I interrupted our chat when I saw a purple weed shooting up among sunflowers. (I’m like a dog on a walk…squirrel?!). Turns out it was Lemon Bee Balm. Perhaps hundreds of passing joggers, walkers and runners had paid no heed to the unexpected pop of color. I’m glad to be a noticer, and a feeler. Creatives may have overactive antennae; always quivering, searching for signals, on alert. We notice deeply. We feel deeply. We are open to it all. Please experience to the fullest all the wonder of this world. But guard your open, loudly beating heart however you can. Take steps to protect it from that which aims to harm the creative process, those who are intent on destruction. Don’t waste time with those who discourage. They exist on another plane, one that doesn’t grasp the beauty of your creation. Don’t allow anyone to stifle quirky, different, beautiful you. The world needs your gift. You need your heart to bring it to reality.
