I like the quiet, contemplative mood that carries throughout.<BR/><BR/>Creativity is an exercise of mindfulness, which is why I love your incredible simile of the frog: <BR/><BR/>"I’m thinking like a frog hears, deeply from his tiny ears into his lungs."<BR/><BR/>I also use music to set the mood, depending on what I seem to be feeling. Paul Simon has been especially helpful lately. <BR/><BR/>Wow!<BR/><BR/>ScotAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1128085054230634052005-09-30T07:57:00.000-05:002005-09-30T07:57:00.000-05:00Than you Easy writer,Thank you easywriter,What I d...Than you Easy writer,<BR/>Thank you easywriter,<BR/>What I did was personal reflection leaning toward contemplation/meditation. I was very calming and nice to just open the channel and let the words come in. I do it that way when I write serious poetry, even more so--sometimes I hardly remember what I wrote. In this case the stuff over the picture was almost prewriting tof that after and all of it was edited only very lightly.<BR/>smiles,<BR/>Liz"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1128084593800899132005-09-30T07:49:00.001-05:002005-09-30T07:49:00.001-05:00Hi Mark, It's always fun when a new face and mind ...Hi Mark, <BR/>It's always fun when a new face and mind joins the discussion.<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you around soon.<BR/><BR/>Smiles,<BR/>Liz"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1128084580484193922005-09-30T07:49:00.000-05:002005-09-30T07:49:00.000-05:00You convey the sense of serenity this exercise bro...You convey the sense of serenity this exercise brought you so well.<BR/><BR/>Music, solitude, philosophy and introspection, a formula made for letting creativy flow. <BR/><BR/>I'm going away feeling peaceful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1128082299814882652005-09-30T07:11:00.000-05:002005-09-30T07:11:00.000-05:00Very interesting stuff here.
