Create
Ahhhh, how bittersweet. Snow*Wench is going to slowly disappear from the websphere, waning from existence while its reincarnation rises. I’m keeping the name & location mum for now, but it already exists on the web.
Working on designing the WordPress theme presents a very special challenge. I haven’t made a new layout for any of my sites in years. The HTML dreams stopped visiting me after I was accepted to college.
That was the beginning. Creativity stayed home when I hurried forth to try on different hats and meet adventure wherever it found me. After a year and a half of juggling all the roles I thought I had to be, I had had my fill of fulfilling other people’s expectations (a very ugly hat, indeed) and was done chewing on the cookie of convention. It tastes like shit after a while. I packed up my lessons learned, took off the hats I wasn’t fond of, and sailed for home.
The homeland is bigger than I remember it. I can go out every day and have adventures if I want to. But I can also stay home and sleep peacefully. It is easier to be creative when you’re in your element and when your home is always with you, then you can create all the time. It makes me think of a YouTube clip I saw yesterday. I watched an amazing and spiritual video from Morman Messages (I’m not Morman, by the way) where it said that creating is a divine ability given to us all.
Isn’t that lovely? The power to create – create anything – as a divine gift. An inborn ability.
It’s like having a brand of magic.
