crossing the river
put the truck in 4WD, say a little respectful prayer for permission to the river and drive on across the river, the Nantahala River, to my home on the other side. today its not raining and there hasn't been much rain for several weeks so the river is very very low. an easy crossing today.
sometimes the river is too high, just have to wait for the water to come back down. relationship. those are the days that i am "waterbound - way down in North Carolina".

ETSY=revolution in the ART world
There is this thing about ETSY.com that i really find very exciting. I see on ETSY the potential for a revolution in the art world that i feel is coming. Creativity comes in so many forms, is ordinary, amazing, common, beautiful and is human nature. One can see on Etsy examples of the wonderful variety of forms in which creativity emerges.
There is a playfulness to the energy that emerges when the old constraints* fall away. Creativity is FREE to be and to become and to come through anyone and everyone who chooses to open themselves to the flow of creative energy. Creativity is happening all the time, everywhere.
It is sacred, is energy and a process available to anyone to witness and/or to participate.
People are able to stand in the energy of something freshly created and feel that energy and do not require any background to assist them in their own direct experience of that creative experience.
* the old constraints - judgment ("good art" "not good enough art"), hierarchy of mediums ("fine art" vs "craft", etc.), past achievements bias ( education, degrees, shows, and various other sanctions by experts), gender bias, competitor abilities (awards) and all the other ways that the ego based, fear and pain world muddles in the creative energy of the sacred becoming.
