At a drumming workshop I attended, we worked with a song called "Spirit of the Wind" (Perhaps you know it?)

Spirit of the Wind, carry me.
Spirit of the Wind, carry me home.
Spirit of the Wind, carry me home to myself.

Spirit of the Fire, my heart's true desire.
Spirit of the Flame, tell me my name.
Spirit of the Wind, carry me home to myself.

Spirit of the Storm, help me be reborn.
Spirit of the Rain, wash away my pain.
Spirit of the Wind, carry me home to myself.

Spirit of the Earth, lead me to rebirth.
Spirit of the Land, hold me in your hand.
Spirit of the Wind, carry me home to myself.

I thought, creativity is like the wind, carried on the wind, born in the fire, washed up on the shores of our consciousness by storms, washed by the rains, warmed by the sun that leads us to our true self and thus carries us home.

And then I came across the wonderful John O'Donohue quote:
"A good story knows more than its teller" and I thought yes, that is so!

Creativity gives birth to our deepest longings; it is through our writing and our characters that we speak our truths often without knowing they are our truths.

Creativity is born of our hunger to lead the authentic life and drives us to take the risks demanded of the creative journey. It feeds the passion of our writing and frees us to know a deeper self that we might not uncover otherwise.

As creative people, we experience the deeper reality of the invisible world. These soul
knowings, whether conscious or unconscious, at times keep us afloat and at other times draw us ecstatically into the dance. And so what calls us is also the beauty of our self resplendent in the home of self.
