i love creativity. so unpredictable, chaotic and beautiful.
i had a great friend in college who was an artist. she often experienced a creativity block when a big project was due. she often stayed up all night before it was due because an idea finally worked.
yesterday i was driving home from a day in cincinnati with my husband (we visited our first IKEA store…wow!). i wondered what websites there are for young clergy to connect and discuss some of our concerns & dreams. then i later wondered if i could shoot a documentary where people of all ages get a chance to share their thoughts. there’s something about the power of film. it tells us something we can’t hear from others.
