Felt to add to my sharing that I recall clearly this poem landed after one of my breakthroughs as I was taking nearly every Openhand retreat at that time to liberate myself from distortions and find out who I really am. It was when I felt I have broke free from various identities and completely let go of what I thought I was. Remember sitting in my bed in the morning in such a lightweight emptiness and those words "bubbling" out of nowhere and just my hand wrote them down. But it didn't even feel that is me who is writing this poem, I didn't even know this is going to be a poem...

I'm still pondering with this question within - who is really creating? And I can reflect on the same feeling times and times again when looking into nearly every piece of my work that I am keeping as a "small art" - there was no identification at that very moment when it is being made, whatever that is - a poem, a drawing, a painting, my designed and hand made clothes, jewellery, photo, video. When I am taking photos or filming was asking myself many times - why I have to photograph it? Can't I just enjoy it by simply watching? Yes, I can. But there is a tiny bit different feeling when looking through the lense of the camera, as if my focus is sharpening onto some particular vibration which I feel within me and there is the snapshot of it taken in the moment of being IN THAT vibration. I would try describing it as the snapshot of the subtle feeling of the soul frequencies resonating with this particular moment when this bird is sitting in a particular position and light with the particular colours in the background, as an example of this photo just shared above. And so "I feel the bird - I am a bird..."

I don't know if that makes any sense of what just said. Would love to know how other people feeling when they're creating! Please do share 🙏

From loving heart
