Inside each of us there is what I call the Creative Source - the source of
our creative flow and our inherent order, emerging structures, the creative
impulse, inspiration to create and evolve, the place within us that is life
always seeking more life. I personally believe it is the true "fountain of
youth" - the creative wellspring of total aliveness - every fresh, ever
generative, ever originating and ever unfolding. It contains within it an embedded
creative intelligence of pure, raw
potential integrated with purpose, motion and trajectory. It is by accessing,
cultivating, forming and shaping this universal - and uniquely personal -
creative resource into being that positive change happens in our selves, our
organizations, our systems and our lives.
I recently read an excerpt of a letter Yasuhiko Genku Kimura, founder of Vision-in-Action, wrote to one of his students. It resonated so much I had share it here:
"The satisfaction or the fulfillment of the visionary's
life does not come from public recognition but from the inner joy of
envisioning and creating and from the profound reverent connection to the
Source whence his visions and ideas originate. Ascend therefore within your own
self and reach the inner Source whence all visionaries and creators draw their
inspiration. The purpose of your life is the evolution of your soul, and your
soul evolves through the inspired act of envisioning and creating and by the
spiritual nurture you thus receive from the Source..."
