Channels of creative energy

By Ian | 18 June, 2013

The energy to create things exists in all of us. Some of this energy flows through my hands in to words, rhyme, rhythm, capturing light, a part flows through my mouth into song, other through my body as love.

Sometimes the ideas just flow when I am working on product development or working on the architecture of a new technical system. Over the last year I sometimes wonder if “I” am being creative or I am just being a channel for the ideas which are “just hanging around” in the universe ready to be picked up.

Korn im Wind der Gefühle

I had this idea of love being something organic like a plant that can grow from a corn.

I have always marvelled at that precious period of time after one has given up his body and mind to the unleashed sexual energies. For me it had something magical, divine, peaceful…
