It is near the end of the day... almost 11:30pm... And yet I remember to do and here I am doing... the writing. Something.
To be sure -- I am not at this moment inspired nor feeling creative. The creativity and/or the inspiration is not necessarily part of my daily piano playing/practicing. Writing does, imho, demand...??!! creativity and so when that is missing .... what to do? Ramble on as I am doing now/here?
Playing/practicing the piano is wonderful as I bring to life .. for myself and maybe sometime for others... music of those who were creative, inspired, talented, capable. They live on, come back alive ... as I play - or so I think, imagine, HOPE. And I do it in my special way... not as a replicating recording.
NOW if I were to think and try to be creative ... well there is the slogan, idea: Some disrupt... and some distroy. In one case order needs to be restored. In another case rebuilding needs to be done. After the disruption or the destruction the need arises for a return to the basics of those things, institutions, lives... since there were kernals of needs, essentials, wants, etc... THERE WAS VALUE... At some point. Lost perhaps but still there at some level and so ITS A CYCLE... isn't it? Isn't all life, reality, history, etc, etc.. cyclic? Thus would the old wisdom in the Bible of the Book of Eccliasitics... Vanity or futility - all is around and goes around and comes around. Life/death, peace/war, love/hate, etc. It is known... and yet not understood nor transcended!
Transcending the norms of the past is what we keep trying to do and failing. Can we ever succeed? Will we ever succeed? What if we stop trying? What then?
