Letting Go Creativity Thinking

More From Eddie Izzard

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. all things appear to us in the shape of forms. even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. a figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

Well, i started out down a dirty road started out all alone and the sun went down as i crossed the hill and the town lit up, the world got still i'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings coming down is the hardest thing well, the good ol' days may not return and the rocks might melt and the sea may burn i'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings coming down is the hardest thing well, some say life will beat you down break your heart, steal your crown so i've started out for god knows where i guess i'll know when i get there i'm learning to fly around the clouds but what goes up must come down

Creativity gives new forms, new patterns, new ideas, new art forms. and we don't know where creativity comes from. is it inspired from above? welling up from below? picked up from the air? what? creativity is a mystery wherever you encounter it.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Enterprise is first creativity. you need creativity to see what's out there and shape it to your advantage. you need creativity to look at the world a little differently. you need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. we lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western montana, and our father was a presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. he told us about christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and i did, that all first-class fishermen on the sea of galilee were fly fishermen and that john, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

It seems to me that the students are now half-awake enough to try and wake up their brother workers. if you don't pass on your own awareness then it closes down again.

Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
