Inside us all is the same deep and ancient command to, “Create, create, create!”

This is the primal drive of all life on the planet. The grass and trees know this. It’s what keeps the birds and squirrels chirping and scurrying and from the our moment of our own conception until we choose to die it’s what drives us. This constant birthing is not a one-time event, but a daily practice.

Create, create, create is an idea we need to be reminded of, especially today with the push to trust things outside of ourselves, outsource our instincts and allow our creative work to pass through a computer’s anus.

We’ve become programmed to think of creativity as a special gift given to a few artists, designers, musicians or writers. But creativity is much more natural and deeper than that. Creation isn’t something we do, it’s the command of life and who we are. In this act, we align ourselves with the fundamental impulse of life itself.

Just as a river stagnates when it stops flowing, if we aren’t constantly evolving, learning, and growing we are dying. I watched it in my parents, I see it in my friends. We get “stuck in our ways” and our lives get smaller.

Creativity is life expressing itself through our being and should show in our relationships, our teaching and our play as one continuous loop and constant evidence of aliveness.

“Create, create, create!” is adoration for life itself.
