For those following my journey, you may notice that a thing is simply not the thing, but how one can develop and grow consciously from it.

“Continuing to use the process of crocheting as a tool, I notice the cyclical shifting of my intrinsic value system. The meaning I give to a project, its “why” is undergoing its own evolutionary process. I realize that when I place a personal, solely-self driven purpose to my creations, its lifespan is temporary.
For instance, giving a why to a creative expression as a means to develop financial stability creates within me these feelings of insatiable hunger and honestly, narrow-minded thinking. Over time, I become a factory, doing just to do, losing the spark, the excitement, and the connection to a much higher vision that I am supporting through my creative expression.
I often cycle around to reevaluating my why. Ever attempting to come up with some creative loophole where creative expression meets some self-fulfilling reason. But each time, no matter what reason I give, when creative expression does not attempt to serve as a function for furthering the development of a collective consciousness, I feel my most inadequate. I feel the depths of not-enoughness. I swim in feelings of overwhelm to the state of humanity. I feel how deeply poignantly I am not living up to my self-defined responsibility to influence change for the better.
I stir up the all-too familiar martyr. I swirl in her shadow qualities because that’s where I am asked to bring the light of my creativity. This is the area within my own consciousness I oscillate, moving light between self-sacrifice and soul development.”
