The waiting room
Heather: "Now I feel compelled to ask each of you to consider not only the angel and the muse but Duende."
Waiting...What can one do? All is out of ones control. We can do only one thing, and that is to think. Our mind travels with us in all circumstances, through the good times and the bad. Uncontroled we can sink into worry..motivated by fear...which helps no one and can seriously hurt ourselves. Caught in similar situations as this I find only one help and that is what Heather has done; directed mental exploration. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED THE MENTAL JOURNEYS HEATHER HAS SENT US ON AND THIS TIME SHE HAS HIT ON MY FAVORITE SUBJECT.....CREATIVITY. I am heading to my cell, locking the door, and staying there until I can get acquainted with this dark sided Duende she has introduced, and fit him into my views on creativity and the realities of my life. Freddy Garcia Lorca is a lot more knowledgable then I am and will take a lot of research on my part to get to his understanding his views. Hopefully Heather will forgive me for seeing it through my eyes and possible missing his point all together. Be back soon, I hope, as I am in the middle of a journey to Norway from the north end of Lemuria too. I am beginning to come to the conclusion that I have dual personalities within me...which by the way is also how I invision creativity...Until later..Jane

Dear Jane
I know that like so many others here at Soul Food you are all too familiar with the waiting room that I have spent so many hours waiting in. And at days end it is all beyond our control and, rather than sink and collapse, directed mental exploration is what saves us. So I am delighted that you are going to thoroughly explore the article by Lorca and I will not mind in the least if his words carry you to some other far flung place.
You may well have explored the Dig Tree, which I put together last year, but if you haven't I think you will enjoy the fact that I have used the journey of famous Australian Explorers to dissect and come to a closer understanding of fabric of creativity.

Remember that here in the Abbey, if you click the date on a post it will take you to the posts own page. This is useful to know if you are wanting to just print out one single post. Personally I think the Lorca article is worth spending some time meditating upon.
