unconditional creativity [part 1]

I read a couple different blogs lately that spoke about being disciplined in creativity or the creative process. Below is a comment I left on one of the blogs.

Tomorrow, I'll follow up with a recent journal entry on creativity - I allude to one part of it in the beginning of this comment.


my comment

“creativity is intentional but not conventional.” i wrote that in my journal on June 7th.

God’s creation (or constant creativity) sustains all of us. Quietly, consistently…and half the time with no recognition by humanity at large. My only fear is that our consistency or discipline with our creativity is meant for something other than the creative process…maybe recognition, fame, popularity or worse…that we create something before someone else - which that is rooted in competition. These are agendas - and that is conditional creativity.

God’s creation or creativity is intentional and unconditional, much like His love. It sustains our every breath (creating new life constantly) with little or no thought by humanity. Are we willing to be that creative?

Most of the forerunners and truly creative people throughout time were creative because of passion not vocation; never being known until they were dead.

Are we willing to be that disciplined in our creativity?

Are we willing to be dead to be truly alive in creativity?

That is intentional and unconditional creativity...or at least the beginning of it.
