Creative Release

We all need one - it is so vital to balance the jumble of life and responsibilities we have out there. Creation comes in writing, expressing feelings and making clear and specific the unsaid. Expression emits in dance, how we feel, how the music moves something within the core and brings out an energy like no other. Our personalities come forth through our surroundings, how we decorate our homes, the colors and textures we use, the visuals we want to make our home comforting and a part of us. Emotions are let go through voice, through song, through lyrics that touch something within, that spells out in melody what is deep and down. Anger and energy sound out in drum beats, culture next to the heartbeat, beating it out instead of out at someone for masked reasons. Through poetry, through iambic pentameter, through short phrases that capture a moment, "poetry is the alchemy which teaches us to convert ordinary materials into gold." - Anais Nin. Sex ~ yes, that's a creative release as well, in a very carnal, uninhibited expression of...hee hee, well, you think about it. We all need an outlet for creation to add color, spice and absolute to this thing called Life.
