I'll delay it until my psyche seems more settled, and then gratefully settle back into word crafting. And it, thank Whoever is in charge of these things, rises to meet me.

Just wanted to say congrats on this first blog post! It's really inspiring me to take another mental step towards ACTUALLY publishing my first post and not just dreaming about it! Having spent much of my education and working life valuing the rational / logical, I am gaining a belated new appreciation for the powers of creativity. But given newbie status in this space, for now I find it easiest to let it come out when I give myself permission to NOT have a point to whatever it is I'm doing, and it helps greatly to do this in the company of others doing the same (but not necessarily together). Take care, talk soon! Jenny Hi Hiro — it’s Jenny from Blogging Therapy class. Just wanted to say congrats on this first blog post!

I love the way you express yourself as your imagery of one step on the gas and one step on the brake rings so true.

Diving in, with beautiful music is my preferred method of creative process. I write intensively, for a few hours, in the dark of the night. I'm hardly aware of what I'm doing - it can feel like possession. But I really understand that sense of change coming, and the feeling of having one foot on the brake and one on the accelerator at the same time! <abbr><em>Joely Black (@TheCharmQuark on Twitter)´s last blog post..<a href="http://isabeljoelyblack.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/if-you-build-it-they-will-come-if-you-dont-theyll-demand-you-do/" rel="nofollow">If you build it, they will come; if you don’t, they’ll demand you do</a></abbr></em> It’s wonderful to see you writing a blog!

I can SO relate. My own experience with creativity mirrors your experience quite closely. I was inspired to read Marks comment about needs of others being a source of creativity. That is a helpful thing for me to think about. Hiro, I loved reading your blog post. I can SO relate. My own experience with creativity mirrors your experience quite closely.

Your post reminds me of the sheer courage, stamina, patience, endurance and everything else it takes to stay semi-sane, let alone connected with our creative selves, in the crucible of motherhood. This deserves a post--and a conversation--of its own, so we'll open the floor to it in my next blog post. Chris, yes--approach, avoidance, circling, flow, bliss . . . this relationship holds it all! Manya, so good that you give yourself safety and permssion. I know your right container will emerge for you very soon. Chas, early mornings are such a sacred time for me too--that feeling of openness, softness, innocence, before the world comes rushing in. Heidi, I love your metaphor of pregnancy, gestation and birth. Yes! Ah, dear Wendy, I’d resent me too, if I were being mom to small children and hadn’t time to wipe my own nose.

There's a sense that whatever it is is just going to have to be birthed. There's no way around it. It just has to come out. And I am then the fingers through which it pours. It also sometimes gestates when I'm out in fresh air and moving my body in some form of exercise. That seems to stop all the blah blah blah, and voila, oh my, here it comes, ready or not! Thanks for sparking this reflection, Hiroboga. And, I love your title ;) For me, sometimes, creativity is like waking up pregnant.

happy to see you’ve got more accelerator than brakes! now your life is even more full!

i’m finding that my creative process works best early mornings with tea after morning pages and heart meditation, or anytime i have an opportunity to walk out in nature.

or if i stick the giutat netween me and the door. that works too…

Lovely to witness your birthing process, and your poetry. I am still grappling with birthing my own blog, feeling the tumult (kicking?) internally but not yet quite broken through into the light of day. I know that safety and permission are my keys to releasing and expressing creativity, and trusting, listening for, that inner voice/thought/emotion/flight of fancy saying "I"m ready!" My biggest challenge is turning the intangible into tangible form. I look forward to seeing more of you! xox Congratulations, Hiro! Lovely to witness your birthing process, and your poetry.

I know that safety and permission are my keys to releasing and expressing creativity, and trusting, listening for, that inner voice/thought/emotion/flight of fancy saying “I”m ready!” My biggest challenge is turning the intangible into tangible form.

I look forward to seeing more of you! xox
