....comes once again from Sir Ken. "You can think of creativity as a conversation between what we're trying to figure out and the media we're using."
This quote struck me so profoundly. Each of us has some creative capacity, and whether our medium is paint, music, words, mathematics, business, or something else, we are all on the same journey. We are all asking the same questions. We are all having that conversation with life.
What is it that we seek? We seek joy and peace. Love and comfort. Adventure, new ideas, laughter. Novel experiences. Comfortable familiarity. Each day is a new conversation with life. What will you teach me today? What can I offer back?
This journey to truth is our destination. Though we may yearn for faraway places, airplanes, and a full passport, we need only look inside to find ourselves on the path to the great unknown. For inside us lies an endless mystery, a pilgrimage to everything true.
Until next time.

Wanderlust
Ok, summer in Oklahoma is over, and the bug currently biting me is the TRAVEL BUG! This should be of no surprise, as I am afflicted with an incurable case of wanderlust, and it flares fairly regularly. I want to plant my foot on foreign soil! Nearly 16 months and I'm ready to take flight, with or without a plane.
Since exposing myself to Couchsurfing.org, my travel desire has increased tenfold. My desire to see new places, experience new things, meet new people, expose myself to new ideas, new cultures, new sights.....I can feel it burning inside me, like a fire in my heart.
Life has been pretty hectic lately. Working full time, teaching three classes, taking a Saturday class, applying for grad school, and studying for the GRE does not leave much time for the fun things! (Or even the not-so-fun things like laundry and working out!!) So I guess it's natural that the great unknown is calling.
I am happy for the opportunities in front of me. All this hard work will pay off, I have no doubt, regardless of the outcome. Until it all unfolds, though, I will continue traveling the world in my dreams, and wake up ready to keep working toward my goals. Soon, though, you will find me, on a jet plane to who knows where. Make no mistake about that.
Until next time! xoxo
