Welcome to week forty-one. This week, David reflects on the ways creativity can help us not be the sum of our past, so we can make new choices and allow a new future to emerge.
Excerpt:
Still as Pir Vilayat wrote, “If life is creative, then we are not simply the effect of our past.” We’re capable of creating a life mission from the song of our soul that is not the sum of our wounds, even if our life mission is a solution to a wound.I want to do this ashes work. I want to honor the gift in the underworld and its place. I want to remember I’m not the sum total of my past. Without attempting to deny a part of me, I want to remember the whole. Creativity honors and is present in life and gives us a new choice. Creativity says the result is not always preordained, that something new, unforeseen, and unrelated to the past can emerge.
The Caravan of Remembering, Chapter 4, Committing to the Process of Life Mission, p.77-78
