Practice Random Acts of Creativity
Once in a blue moon, I get the urge to be creative somehow--draw or write poetry. My works aren't masterpieces, but they satisfy the urge to create, to use my creativity and imagination. I'm sure that's the case for many of you, as well.
Post your doodles, drawings, silly haikus or poems here! Let's not be judgemental of each other (e.g., make fun of, belittle or ridicule each other). This is a safe place to post your random acts of creativity. And whatever doodle/creative writing happens to tickle your funny bone is fine too. I'll start with a drawing I just made using the android app SketchBook Mobile (on a rooted Nook Tablet). I used my middle finger... of all things! lol It's a copy of a werewolf from Draw Werewolves, another android app. (I didn't trace it; I copied it.): Edit: Also, if you feel the urge to post a melancholy poem (like I often do), this is a safe place to do so.

I used to write wistful, insightful poems. I miss writing poetry. Since I developed carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), I stopped. I'm hoping to continue even if it's just simple rhymes every now and then. Hopefully someday I'll fully heal from CTS and follow my passion once again.
Here's a short poem I wrote years ago about solace and poetic words: LIGHT OF WORDS I found solace in poetry, In rhythm and rhyme, In the passion and the glory of words-- Words softly spoken, Words uttered in the dark, Words written hurriedly on college-ruled paper. I found solace in your words today. Thank you for your kindness, For sharing them with me-- A weary traveler... Searching for the light of words. (c) 2010, Carmen Hekawe Aguilar. All rights reserved.

A STEPPING STONE
I couldn't put my finger on it. I couldn't tell what we truly were-- A friendship or something more. And after all was said and done, I came to realize... We were stepping stones in each other's lives; Our relation was merely a stepping stone in the sands of time. (c) 2014, Trichobezoar. All rights reserved.

ENCHANTED DECEPTION
The mystical realm awaits to be discovered and celebrated. So common to man, the enchanted fades away And lies buried underneath layers of banality-- Our various realities and levels of existence. (c) 2014, Trichobezoar. All rights reserved. |

Fellow Traveler Throughout our wayward journeys, May the light within, The Light of our being, Tenderly guide us. - - - What is your inner compass pointing towards? Thoughts, images and words, mere words... Sign posts towards our true north or a wayward path. - - - Remember, spirituality is cumulative. Keep striving despite the darkness and dim lighting. @};--- Write your own script--create your own agenda. In changing your script, you are changing your patterns (i.e., patterns of thinking and behaiour) And perhaps overcoming other patterns. All of life consists of symbols and patterns.

To be is being and being is to be.
- - - To be or not to be who you are; that is the question. 'Tis nobler in mind to be true to yourself Than deceitful, grasping and clinging. |

I just composed this in the waking today (trying to ignore whining dogs begging to be fed, LOL):
Catching Up And there were questions asked and answers heard Until there left was not a word Of hearth and home, heath nor hill And a comfortable silence between them fell. |

Why do burps suddenly appear
And nostrils flare When you are near? Just like me They long to be Far from you. On the day that you were born The angels(?) got together... |

Create a Magenda asap.
Magenda (My Agenda) as opposed to Yagenda (Y'all Agenda). |

There is a world of ignorance in poverty and a world of poverty in ignorance.
* * * Extreme ignorance comes from poverty of the heart, mind and soul; From it stem all forms of emptiness... And ego revels in it. @};--- |

I think the loss of the creative 'urge' is generally caused by that thing called 'life' getting in the way!

The urge comes to me in spurts.
Wow, that sounds so dirty! Anyhow, I have to channel my creativity into work right now. |
