The sun sets on another day…
I found myself watching the sunset intently as the sky became a series of pink and red clouds offset by gray and white. It was truly beautiful and I enjoyed it a lot.
At the end of a very famous movie a boy held a spark. A very small piece of light that seemed far too dim to create a world or more. With the power of his imagination the boy created a spectacular series of adventures and live them out as a story without an end. Today I listen to a group of people who had that spark and as I listened I was fascinated by the power and passion of creativity in the human mind.
I will be the first to admit that I get lost in my imagination quite easily. Story after story flows from my brain and as many as I could create there would always be more. Given any type of prompt I find myself lost in a series of thoughts that create a world without end. Today I was overcome with emotion as the prompt reminded me of mortality but as we discussed all of the pieces and parts that others had created that emotion shifted to a spark and more.
I have never really allowed comments on 29,000 sunsets, I get some when I post them on Facebook and of course I get some by email but I am rarely gifted with a negative comment. Instead people are positive and uplifting and I hope that I can always give them back the same. It is without reservation that I say that artists find passion in everything. Artists find passion in it all. Whatever “it” is, I think it will be uplifting.
Well, I could say “so what” but instead I say if you see that spark, hold on to it, and make it something bigger. Find a way to fan the flames of your creativity. In the process, I think you will grow.
So as the sun sets on another day, I am sitting around looking for sparks. Thanks for looking with me and I hope the sunset gives you the creativity to do more, be more, and find more. Remember you are awesome, and hold onto your unlimited imagination, no mater what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep living it…
