Creativity and I | a poetic response to Liz Gilbert's "Big Magic"
Creativity and I We're the couple who sits in booths, passing scribbled napkins instead of speaking . We're the weirdos who don't know if they're friends, siblings, or lovers (and no one else knows either) . We're two different colored grapes on the same vine (we make a nice ros é ); two rose bushes growing into each other; two stained glass windows on either side of a church; one red and one blue lens in a pair of 3-D glasses. Creativity and I are inconsistent, sloppy, and sometimes intoxicated. Our love is high, wild, storm-ready, innocent, focused , mature, and confused. We have some commitment issues, but our love's a fun one. In other words: reading "Big Magic" made me realize that my relationship with Creativity is extremely unconventional (and at times positively contradictory), but we like it that way.
