Unpredictable creativity

Creativity can be unpredictable in the way it seeks expression. That is, sometimes we just don’t know.

So the thing to do is to try. To experiment. To dabble. To be a beginner often.

And we might find that playing the guitar does it. Or painting. Or writing poetry. Or knitting. Or taking photographs. Or cooking. Or making buttons. Or throwing pots in one season and writing jokes in another.

What we find satisfying may indeed surprise us.

So let yourself be surprised.
