Let's call these characters, "Twich" and "Listine":
-------------------------------------------
Since we're in the middle of this thing, I thought I'd share a thought on creation/creativity.
"Listine" told me she liked a line in Rain on a Flood. "I hope the levees hold you tight."
I asked why and she explained. Made me seem real enlightened.
She asked what the backwards line during the dobro bridge was.
I told her.
She said, "Were you imagining yourself in..."
I said, "No."
She said, "Then what does it mean?"
I said, "It doesn't mean anything. When something comes to you, sometimes you just roll with it."
She said, "No. With you, you ALWAYS just roll with it."
I said, "Never question messages from your unconscious self.
-------------------------------------------
[Back to me] Yes, these are some the pathways to creativity:
- Wait for the omens.
- Don't force yourself onto projects (as you wouldn't want them to force themselves onto you).
- "Never question messages from your unconscious self."
- Hold the demons close.
- It doesn't have to mean anything.
- Do it because it feels right regardless of how it sounds/looks.
- It looks/sounds like art because it is.
- Do not see permission.
- Eyes/ears don't lie.
- Most people won't get it.
