So now....

Lately I've been going to gym.

Like most obsessive compulsives, I promised myself to take it easy.

Right!

Most days after I've been exercising , I struggle with the energy to be creative. This got me to thinking how some people don't want to be creative.

Why?

Because it takes energy to be creative.

Hummmmmmm.....??????

Don't Ever Stop

Someone once said:

“People who do things that count, never stop to count them.”

Does that mean....

Writing that book...finishing that painting....reading that poem in public???

Do something that counts today!!!

And don't stop!

I know I'm slow but....

Leigh Ann and I watched the movie August Rush last night.



What am amazing story about the power, love and place of music in our lives ! (Forget the issues of a child being safe on the streets of New York.)

Some of the lines from the movie:

"I love music more than food.."


" Never lose the music.."


See the movie!!!!!!

Man, do I.....

Yesterday, we went fishing for Yellowfish.

Never caught one, but did get some mudfish.

The amazing thing was:

- Standing for three hours thigh deep in a fast flowing river

- Being out in the open air

- Watching these strong fish constantly fighting against the stream

As I watched, I wondered why they didn't move to a more sedate place, where they could enjoy the sun, eat and be calm?

I guess they are like artists of all kinds - we do what we do beacause it doesn't make sense!

Cobble Crab Newsletter

We now have a newsletter which has been sent to those who have joined the website (www.cobblecrab.co.za) as members. (And anyone who asks: info@cobblecrab.co.za )

It's these kind of reflections which allow one to see the value of engaging with each other and touching our creativity.

If God places a touch of creativity in each of us, then surely we must allow it to express itself?

Dallas Willard Said:

"I don't want you to think of art as a little frill or whipped cream on the cake of life.It's more like steak and potatoes."

Think about it!

Change Your World

As a kid, I remember going to a library down the road.

Mostly because I wanted to read the Asterix & Oblex comics.

But I also loved the compelling quiet and musty smell of the large rooms. Everything seemed controlled and in place.

As I think of it now, one thing sticks with me. Following the one of the wall arches, in huge bold print, was a sign that read:

If you want to change your world - read!

That's about one of the most true sayings I've ever seen.

Awesome!

Coming Out of the Woodwork!

Since Cobble Crab's inception, it's amazing how many potential writers have come out of the woodwork.

It's amazing to think that creativity is prevalent in our society.

Let me say, I never realised it!

So the question is:

Is creativity a God given talent which most of us hide?
