Holiday On Ice

Subtitle: A brief note on the question of creativity inspiration

Tonight, while working closely with Naomi to identify the function of small rounded masses, the subject of clothing came up.

We cover our bodies with natural/synthetic fabric, animal products and objects for reasons we're well taught to recite.

Your body coverings may result from necessity (weather protection or social requirements, for instance); gifts from friends, family or companies/vendors; conformity (especially in uniforms); and/or statements of individuality.

Globally, we're familiar with the face mask to protect from airborne diseases.

For several dozen hours, I've dug into my experiences of exercising emotional intelligence, draining the rainy day fund in my emotional bank account.

We act on what we believe.

So, in this case I can believe I have an unlimited supply of emotional states, a supply of unlimited emotional states, and an infinitely high emotional intelligence.

Or I can believe the emotional supply/intelligence will run out in a short time.

We dabble in concepts, especially in person-to-person contact.

An emergency response tells you and others who you are.

I am a variety of people, reacting to those around me in support of reflecting to them their best sides.

I am physically drained and not aware of who I am or who I could be in this moment.

At times like these, my universal mirror/magnifier operates on a local scale.  I reflect others in short-term views and forget about the big picture.

My main focus is my loved one's health - because I am emotionally attached to her, I invest emotions in the moment which uses up energy I could devote to the rest of my "multiple intelligences," abilities or domains of interest.

The end is near!  The sky is falling!  Hadn't we better focus on the deep issues plaguing the world right now and not worry about individual concerns like love or personal health?

Do what you feel/think you have to do to get you through the day.

Family is my number one concern - people and family are all I've got to think about, being a family person myself.

Concepts, ideas, intelligence and clothing types are there in front of me, holding my attention briefly while I try to figure out what makes you the most important person in the world whom I can reflect back to you.

In this moment when I am me but not me, pardon me if I don't give the full attention you deserve and reflect you back to you when we're facing each other.  I take full responsibility.  My wife is my world to me.  Without her, I wouldn't be here to show the world you are the most important person.

Does that make sense?  I don't know.  My body says it's time to go to sleep and take a break from processing stimuli at odds with themselves.

Maybe I'll solve world conflicts during dream states, reminding us that national sovereignty and corporate charters do not exist if we don't want them to.  As always, family and intolerance depletion rule the day.

We're here to help the other get through the day - let's keep our relationships simple and open, on the level, so we make conflict resolution possible.  Sure, we have seven billion ways to see ourselves but share common patterns for thriving daily.

I support everyone's right to a set of individual beliefs.  How we're able to live out our beliefs is where we meet and balance freedom, responsibility, in/tolerance and understanding.  That's what creativity is all about, where we'll find our drive and desire to apply "multiple intelligences," abilities or domains of interest toward deeper / higher / longer education.

Just like some create their own paths to success by combining careers, some use predetermined directions (traditional college core degree classes) and some complete their career/university learning through a la carte selections.  Different but the same - applying intelligence and creativity to keep us as individuals and thus our species going well.
