DAY 21 -Natural artists

Sometimes nature offers you something so breathtaking that it actually takes your breath away.

This is one such image. I did not do a thing, other than point my camera in the right direction and click. The colors, the composition, the interplay between the setting sun and the bird in flight, all came together at the right moment to give me this wonderful composition.

And I thought to myself: OMG, how can anyone compete with that. No matter what you do there is no way you can compete with nature as far as creative pursuits go.

That's when the good angel on my right shoulder whispered (Yup, the good one sits on my right and naughty one on my left)
-"You dumb cluck of a humanoid what should I do to get across through that maze that you call a brain. Don't you realise -you don't have to compete, you ARE A CO-CREATOR.

" You have come from the one who created this -this sun, the sky, the birds, this beautiful image, which you think is so absolutely breathtaking. You have come from the one that's created THIS.

"You can call him God. You can call him SOURCE. you can call him HER. Or you can call it Energy or nothing at all. But the fact of the matter is you have come from THERE.

" This world and the beauty that you see around you is your legacy. Which means if your maker can create something beautiful so can you. You are a CO-CREATOR. Can you please write that with a permanent marker on the walls of your Cranium?" So said the good angel.

It is only recently that I am beginning to understand the meaning of co-creation. And it is a marvelous and joyful experience -this co-creation. And extremely EMPOWERING.
