Have you ever stared up at the clouds in he sky and found intriguing images?  Or perhaps before waking up with eyes closed an array of images float by your mind’s eye.  That is the gift of your imagination.  When we see things in other things that aren’t there essentially, our imagination is playing with us.  It is a wonderful reminder that we are forever imaginative and creative beings.

I often go for nature walks and alow my eyes to wonder to see what can be seen, beyond what is considered to be there.  Patterns in leaves, intricate weaving of spider webs, the way water creates designs in the sand as it washes over it.

Yesterday on the beach my son brought me a special rock which he said looked like a donut.  Indeed it had a bellybutton like indent from a fossil and was round like a donut.  I of course saw a rock with a belly button, a symbol of chi energy perhaps (I had just been to acupuncture the day before where needles were stuck into my belly to make my overall energy flow better).    The point is we see what we need to see (my son had just enjoyed a vegan donut for the first time and I guess that was still on his mind).

Just as we were about to leave the beach I noticed in front of my sandy lazy legs a rock that stood out.

I picked it up and lo and behold I saw the shape of a goddess on one side.  When I flipped it over I saw another image, a face I think.

But when I arrived home with it and looked at it again I saw another goddess instead and could not see the second image that I originally saw.  So goddess it is.  I took out my pens to draw her out more.

Creative process is there for us to access whenever we are ready.  All we have to do is allow ourselves to recognize it when it presents itself  to us in subtle ways.
