Transforming the strange into the familiar

What we are talking about here is
metaphor.

Metaphor is the lifeblood of all art.

Creativity is about taking the facts,
fictions and feelings we store away
and finding new ways to connect them.

Metaphor is our vocabulary
for connecting what we’re experiencing now
with what we have experienced before.

It’s not only how we express what we remember,
it’s how we interpret it for ourselves and others.

Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit is at the base of this week’s piece.

Dream intentionally - while you’re awake.
