Mechanical automation is not creating. It is producing, and we must produce. But it is important to recognize the difference. Creativity cannot be scaled, it can only be discovered, experienced, and harvested. After the creator has gone and left the creation behind, unexplained.
Think of it from finish to start, toward the need, the motivation, the inspiration. The initiative, the conditions, the space of time. Effortless elegance, overtaken and surrendered. Catatonic and hypnotic. Completely covered in images and words.
Relations and the temporary diversions. Experiences and listening, understanding the daily grind, the nighttime worries, the dreams. Using time during the alert hours, between sleeps and spells. Carefully crafted loose plans, intentions and goals. The future must be prepared, ready or not.
Proceed like the young, without experience, with anticipation, limitless. The senses will guide you through. Together, they seek your own known truth. Emotions are known too, they are truly felt, however, they are not your own. They always involve others.
