I am having
problems. In fact, haven’t been more frustrated than ever as the last couple of
weeks. It’s the beginning of a new phase of life and there is so much to do.
All that I had asked for this group to accomplish was create a logo and start
working on some basic stuff. Clearly, the underlying assumption being that any
group who is in the business of creativity must be creative … a notion that
begs the question ..”where did you get that idea from?” Guess, the back and forth of dialogues
(duelogues) rather have been uneventful (at least for me). My creative artist endured
me diligently with his innumerable questions, probing, inveigling, and in many
ways (subtly) persuading me to continue with this not so artistic a
relationship.
Today, was different! It was again, one of those
conversations where my ingenuity was challenged! The conversation continued and
finally, we settled on a course of action. And, for some reason, the
conversation meandered to my struggles. The foreboding change that I would
experience a few weeks from now!!!!! And I listened to my creative
artist friend give me the soundest piece of advice I had heard in a long
time. The passion, creativity.. or whatever name you refer to it as is a
representation of the creator. Anyone taking directions, can only emulate the
passion – but cannot and will not be able to replicate it! And true… this is
true in most cases. One cannot insist on a vision!!! One can only hope for it…
and therein lies the effort. The endeavor to work with people and a well
kindled hope… I have a solution. .. worth exploring!!!
