Tend to your Wild Creative Heart

As I develop and nurture the vision being born, I'm wondering about this blog, Tend To Your Soul. In essence, my Wild Creative Heart vision is the same, just with a different name that has a different energy behind it. And perhaps this blog will eventually be retired. For now, it will remain and I invite it's readers, (however few!) to please join me on my new blog. http://WildCreativeHeart.blogspot.com And please, invite your friends! :)

The Creative rEvolution has begun!

I believe the lasting revolution comes from deep changes in ourselves which influence our collective life. -Anaïs Nin

Love is a state of Being - Eckhart Tolle

Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.

Eckhart Tolle – “Practicing the Power of Now”

Flow & Trust

Whenever you need to honor the flow of the creative process that has brought you to the moment you're in -- even if it happens to be a difficult place just then -- imagine this: You are standing next to a beautiful , powerful painting that you have created. You are proud of this painting. It is you. A young artist, quite self-critical, comes to you in admiration and asks, "How did you get to this place?" You breathe deeply, smile and share the secret. "By trusting myself," you answer simply. And the young artist is filled with hope, ready to start again.

~Jeanne Carbonetti

Inspiration

"When you are inspired by some great
purpose, some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds;
Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction,
and you find yourself in a new, great
and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents
become alive, and you discover yourself
to be a greater person by far
than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

~Patanjali

Flute Fanfare (and a creativity prompt)

Take a moment for some fun and lightness today! It's only 65 seconds.

Excerpt: "This is my fantastic flea circus featuring the fabulous flea family - Freddie, Fats, Fannie, Filbert, and Floyd Flea."

The flea voices and the "flute fanfare" are great. (A flea playing a flea-sized flute?) There are other great lines as well!

I don't know, maybe I have a strange sense of humor!?

Creativity Prompt:
Write a short story using as many words as you are able to that start with the first letter of your first name. (or use any letter you are inspired to use.) Have fun with it!

Let me know how it goes!

Things I Love about SNOW!

1. The landscape looks different with a blanket of snow!
2. How it muffles all the sounds and makes everything quiet.
3. The amazing shapes of snowflakes.
4. Catching snowflakes on my tongue
5. Snow sculpture
6. Snow angels
7. The white snow against the blue sky
8. Shadows!
9. The crunch when I walk when the temperature is cold.
10.The mushiness of it when the temps are warmer.
11.Sledding!
12. It insulates plants from the cold.
13. The mixture of sand and snow (think street intersections) reminds me of chocolate chip cookie dough! Ha!
14. The tall grasses peaking through.
15. How it glistens in the sunlight.
16. Tracks! Whether it is tire tracks, foot prints, tracks from deer, bunnies, cats, dogs, ducks, geese, birds, and other little (and sometimes BIG) critters, I love seeing the imprints in the snow!

17. Have you ever noticed the wing/feather tracks from birds taking off and landing?
18. I love how the tracks in the snow allow me to see where the deer and other animals hang out! I feel like I’m being let in on a secret about the lives of the animals.
19. Making my own tracks with snow shoes, cross-country skis, shoes and boots.
20. The feeling of gliding across the snow on skis. Yeah!
21. Breaking new trail on my skis and snowshoes (and in my car!)
22. After a new snowfall, when the tree branches are covered, and then the sky clears and the sun is out and everything is sparkling and magical!

What do YOU love about snow? :)
