We asked this question while celebrating creativity during the week. “Ever wondered that, how we use ourselves in many different ways?”
Creativity is not only about creating something beautifully or differently – it’s all about in daily use how I use myself. Do you know you are creative! The way we use our skills, our thoughts, our knowledge, our exposure, our ideas, our feelings…we all are creative!
Yes, that’s was all about celebrating creativity – we took any object and pondered “how differently can we use it?” Well, a lot more ideas came up about the objects which were all discarded as junk or waste. The same with ourselves – we wondered how many different ways I am using myself? Many things which look waste, actually add up to the creativity.
Reflection on “are we creative? Or What is creativity through Gibberish language, expressing through acting, writing on hands to express, say together, draw and express, run and tell our points…was that creative?
A session with Hirishi to know “what is Cauvery calling by Isha foundation?” was all about knowing the different efforts by different people and seeing our roles in such initiatives – was that creative?
A session with Sonal to know the alternate language of thinking!
A session with Dwiji on machines – it was simple. We wondered about the tools, machines and that’s all! Was that creative to look at our body, at our tools, playing with pulleys and exploring machines!
The community came together to express and explore self and social issues. Helpmates, a platform to seek help from the community and seek the help of tools to understand ourselves as well as others. Non-violent communication allows one to have a different language.
Feeling lonely and need warmth, Feeling angry and need respect, Feeling upset and need connection, Feeling annoyed and need a hearing, Feeling embarrassed and need support
…a language to understand the language of understanding self and expressing with clarity. Is this creativity? This is the language of feelings, needs, and expressions – is that creative!
None created a beautiful painting or a melodious song or invented an experiment – but we all were creative in many different ways – writing with another hand, thinking the opposite, using the words differently, writing our own words, mixing words, use different colors to write. We all were creative. How were we creative this week?
