As I continue making art every day in November, I chose bike riding as my creative activity this past weekend. Being surrounded by the beauty of Fall, feeling the wind on my face, and the sun on my skin, and playing with my very favorite people, I was reminded that to CREATE is simply being in the flow of the present moment.
In fact, one of the definitions of CREATE is: to cause to exist, bring into being. So my lesson on this creative journey is to remember that it's not necessarily what I make with my hands that's important, but how much I am living in the present moment, that truly matters.
Here are some photos of my time enjoying "creation". (Compliments of my lovely husband, Chris.)
Your Personal Reflection: How PRESENT are you?
Love these photos and your passion for creative endeavors. You are so right, it's not always about the end result,but rather the creative journey.
