holistic constipation

i was enjoying a thread on Chris Zydel's facebook page the other day asking about what happens when you don't create

and as i thought about that i began to get that familiar feeling of being tight in my body, frustrated, tied up, bloated and tired 

and i realised there is a term for that 

ok i made up a term for that but still 

i think it has been waiting to be born

it is "Holisitic constipation"

we are made - all of our being is made - to be creative - whether that is finding new solutions to financial problems or solving disputes or diplomacy or mechanical failure - everything requires a creative solution

creativity is not just about putting pretty things down on a surface or wearing hoop earrings or living in a garrett earning no money and drinking absinthe

creativity is being alive to the magic in the world, being open to the possibility that things could be different and grabbing the chance to make that happen

it is exploring ways to explore, finding ways to express or engage with the world in a way that lights it up, it is finding the courage to live from your heart

and if you don't engage with creativity then you develop creative constipation

you can't see beauty or magic

you can't find solutions and only see problems

you are deadened each day and life seems fruitless

you look for things to fill you up (things with a little t) numb you or make this blockage less painful

but i reckon it is not until you get your ovaries firmly in your grasp, be willing to make a complete fool of yourself, get your hands dirty, and your heart open that you start to get rid of the shit that builds up

i want to be an enema for the soul

and 2012 is the year of bringing that to fruition
