True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
Albert Einstein
I read This quote last night – before sleep and i wondered –
Why why why – am i so in this space of Not wanting to Stop Creating .
Whether it be poetry or images or sound – It’s so Alive – It’s incredible
Two Years ago – I would of never imagined – The will and Urge to Create that I have found in myself now .
Everything has changed – and I have allowed it too .
The Perspective – The Love of just Doing it . The no more excuses – The Will to Live out loud .
Why – I still have no idea .
But it doesn’t matter .
There is No need to analyze anything anymore .
And that sentence – in itself is wonderful .
I have just created a new account on SOUNDCLOUD
Which i will be uploading Spoken word poetry in the next few days- Once i have figured out that Platform .
As I have written before – This is the best year of my life thus far – as i have never felt more Alive
In Love with Life – and Peaceful to a point where there is no shaking me from this place .
I don’t want to analyze ever again – I just want to DO.
And DO with an impassioned Heart that Just cannot stop .
This is a Place i call Peace .
Peace and Fervour at the same time .
The Fingers cannot stop writing
The voice cannot stop singing
My apartment is strewn – in a good way – with new ideas – notebooks – two finished novellas
and a Will to create that says – MORE !
When we move with life
it Moves with us
There are no barriers in art
This is a beautiful place to be and stay .
Happy in a way – I have never felt before
Unleashed from the past
Feet planted Firmly in the Now .
What Comes next – I have no idea – and I love that .
Only Creating . That I know .
Isn’t it wonderful when This Freedom sweeps You up
and carries You – with tranquility every day .
This is a place i never wish to leave .

Wow Cat! What an incredible inspirational post full of truth and encouragement….I absolutely loved it! And I love that quote….I know exactly that feeling and your thoughts on it too….that creative urge is like a groaning, a longing to be birthed into the world and given life, a voice of its own. There is no other feeling like it and I would never trade it for anything….It makes me happy to hear how happy you are in your life now, and I wish you the best in everything you set out to do. And I have every confidence that you will do it well, and even exceed your own expectations. 🙂
Much love

IF YOU HAD SEEN ME 2 YEARS AGO – ABOUT THIS TIME –
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH DEPRESSION TO THE MAX ….
BUT THAT YEAR AND MUCH OF 2011 –
I TOTALLY BROKE THROUGH-
AND IN TURN
A NEW WOMAN WAS BORN – AND I REALLY DISCOVERED – UNRAVELLED ALL OF ME – NOT TO SOUND TOO CHEEZY -!!!!
BUT 2012 – NOW A LIFE OF JUST BEING ME TO THE FULLEST – NO COMPLAINING – NO LABELS – NO EXCUSES – NO LIMITS …. JUST PURE ARTISTIC FREEDOM AND ACCEPTANCE OF IT ALL – THE GOOD AND NOT SO GOOD – AND ALL THE LESSONS …..WOW …….
SO YES – I AM NOW ALWAYS IN A GRATEFUL – GRACEFUL PLACE –
AND NO MATTER WHAT
I WILL KEEP CREATING
BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST PEACEFUL PATH …..
WOW WHAT A JOURNEY SO FAR !
MUCH LOVE TO YOU CELESTE
I READ YOUR RESPONSE THROUGH MY INBOX BEFORE BED LAST NIGHT – AND I WAS SO HUMBLED .
BUT I DIDN’T HAVE THE WORDS TIL THIS MORNING
WAKING UP TO A PURE SUNSHINY PLACE IN HEART AND SOUL AND ALL OF IT .
THANK YOU DEARLY FROM MY HEART .
I THINK THAT WHEN SOMEONE – YOU – RESPONDS WITH SUCH OPEN HEARTEDNESS –
AND AGAIN CANDOUR ……
YOU HAVE TO SEE AND RELECT IT BACK ——-
I WISH YOU THE VERY SAME FREEDOM IN ART AND EXPRESSION
AND ALL THE VERY BEST ALWAYS

I know what you mean, but I don’t think it’s new agey, which I’m not either. It’s just a natural flow! I’m very happy I found your blog and you, I love it when I find people to connect to, somehow lately it seems easier in this internet space than in real life. But it gives me energy too.
Have a really nice day Cat, and I’m happy my energy jumps, maybe because I love what I do (just hope I can get my body to be filled with energy all the time as well!)
Allowing is my new favourite word!
