pulled toward creativity...

There is a feeling inside of me that has been gradually growing throughout the past couple of months.  It is as if a part of me is re-awakening.  I can feel the eager stirrings of creativity deep within my bones.  It is not such a specific urge as I have felt in past times, but more of a general sense of aching to create...in various forms, by numerous inspirations.  And it is a heightened appreciation of all the creativity surrounding me. 

My senses are intensified and I can feel my spirit's whisper building to a song.  Music pulses through my veins, a soul-refreshing blood coursing from my heart outwards to release itself through my skin.  I read aloud words of the greats from ages far removed... the Brontes, Hemingway, Fitzgerald...I feel the beauty of the words form upon my lips, a tender kiss of passion that leaves me lost in moments of intoxicating brilliance.  Nature's majestic beauty is painted in vibrant colors...the sun rising in fiery coral, emerald hills rising and falling amist a delicate steel fog, yellow sunflowers larger than dinner plates dancing in gardens...a multitude of hues so vivid that I long to memorize everything around me, a mental snapshot of vitality.

I sit among tools of creation...colored pencils, blank paper, charcoals, paints, yarns of every texture and color, bamboo knitting needles, cameras, unfilled journals, an antique piano, wood, sandpaper, brushes...I want to use it all, to create tangible objects from the images in my mind.  There is so much I want to create that it feels a bit overwhelming.  And yet I am incredibly grateful...how long I have been waiting (without even knowing I was waiting) to feel this blessed pull back toward creativity.

I am glad to read this blog, to know your energy is pulled toward the design of something special. You were always my artsy, creative child, and I will enjoy seeing whatever you design. Nature and your love of books are calling you and giving you much inspiration. Because of this, you are such an inspiration to others, including your mama. I love you so much and am so proud of you and your wonderful abilities in so many areas. How blessed you are, and how blessed you make me feel!

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our group. Welcome to our area! Absolutely drop in at anytime at all. We primarily meet on Monday nights (5:30pm to 8:30p) mostly at the Panera Bread on Howe Avenue in Cuyahoga Falls. Sometimes we do change the location of where we meet or add extra meetups depending on the event. Primarily, though it is Panera Bread.. Our next meetup is tomorrow night Monday, October 5th at the Ido Bar & Grill on S. Main Street in Akron. Next week, October 12th, we will be at Panera in Cuyahoga Falls in their VIP room for our annual stash swap. Please feel free to join us anytime. We also have an afternoon group that meets as well.

We organize our group's activities through meetup.com. They have a great website that includes regular emails, updates, etc on our meetups coming up and planned in the future. From there, you can also see more of our photographs for what we've been up to and other fun stuff.

I hope I've answered your questions. The group itself is rather a very easy going, relaxed group and welcomes anyone who can come when their schedule permits.

If I can answer anything else, please feel free to ask.

Thanks again! Hope to see you soon!
