Make Time To Play

"If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, 
and without soul, life ceases to have 
meaning.... The creative process shrivels in 
the absence of continual dialogue with the 
soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living."
                                             -- Marion Woodman

Stress, fear, negativity, too much to do and doing 
things for others at the expense of our own needs -- 
these all stifle our innate creativity. Relaxation, fun, 
meditation, and going after our dreams all get the 
creative juices flowing. Soul is always creative, 
always fresh and new.

How can you create more space in your life to allow 
the soul’s energy out to play?

"I learned... that inspiration does not come 
like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic, 
striving, but it comes to us slowly and 
quietly and all the time, though we must 
regularly and every day give it a little 
chance to start flowing, prime it with a little 
solitude and idleness."
                                       -- Brenda Ueland

"I lived in solitude in the country and 
noticed how the monotony of quiet life 
stimulates the creative mind."
                                     -- Albert Einstein
