I like the creativity of this picture. The child in the flux of creative joy where anything else has no substance or place. They are completely immersed within space and time of what is in their heart. It is the flow state. The state, all of us as creatives, long for and dream of. It takes us out of the real world and we become mind, emotion and creation unbound to any fixed point.

Creativity is a messy business. It is 'all in' and it is everything.

When you are able to sink into the heavenly essence of creative spirit you become one with it, Everything else falls away and becomes hazy at the edge of creativity's pop of colour, vibrancy and vivaciousness. There is no other high for a creative than this - when the spark ignites the imagination and it hums with emotion.

It is at that point we can see the face of God smiling down at us... if we were so inclined to look. But maybe God's presence is enough to be felt. It is an acceptance. An all is right with the world kind of essence. It tingles through your body like butterflies lifting into the summer breeze.

There in that flash of moment, but gone just as quickly.

Savour those moments. Sip them like sweet nectar and dive into the depths of their resevour of emotional compassion and elation.

Don't take these moments for granted. They come like sprinkles of spring rain on a sunny day. Watch the rainbow hover in the sky and smile. You have been blessed.

There will be times when your path becomes dark. You may trip on overgrown roots that crisscross the path making moving forward seem bleak and forbidding. It is in those moments you remember the small child hunkered down with their crayons, their mind buzzing with the joy of creativity and you let yourself be that child. See your way through the debris of broken dreams and stale endings. Let the image lighten your load and bring you back to how it all started - carefree and unbridled. Let your mind go there and maybe, just maybe, your heart will follow and you will find your way again.

I could see this as a poem.... with a little bit of work.
