407. the truth is….

never too late
 to live a creative life,
and not too old




(The truth is, also, that you need not be a professional actor, artist, singer, dancer. We all have creative ability.  Just move to your own rhythms, follow your inner promptings, do things your own way as you grow a garden, prepare your meals, decorate your home, dress or adorn your body, sing your own song. These are creative acts.  
In a culture that too often values logic over imagination, propriety over spontaneity, practicality over dreaming, creating your own style can feel risky, so we shut down. This brings to mind a poem: And the day came when remaining tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom—Anais Nin)
