It is amazing to me that people's lives are so complicated today that many don't realize the value of slowing down and being still. Some slow down by plopping down on the couch in front of the TV (guilty!). I miss creativity time when I waste time with TV instead of using my time to reconnect to my playful, fun self.
In the book "Creativity and the Divine Surprise" by Karla M. Kincannon she reminds us that "Creativity fine tunes our listening."
Just started the journey through this new read. Karla writes beautifully. "Without creativity we are deaf to God's call; what we are to be and do remains a conumdrum." Conumdrum is a fun word. I think I will use that word creatively today!

Weekend Walk
There is something powerful about being with people you don't know well and spending time listening. Listening is a skill. Sometimes it involves being able to ask the right questions so we can listen even more. Information can lead to transformation.
I am participating in a weekend event as a leader and a listener. I hope you will take time to listen to people this week. Think of questions that might help them express even more of what they are thinking and feeling.
