Creativity

The mind is a quagmire of weeds:
a crowd of what we think we know
leaving little room left for new crops 
of creativity....

How far out did Einstein go?
At first thought speculative nonsense
his time altering relativity....

Hi Joe, Love the metaphor in the first line. Very true. Even for the most creative - so many other responsibilities and activities can get in the way of the creative juices. The most creative must be constantly hacking away at the weeds to make room for the all-important creative thinking and results.

'a quagmire of weeds.' Now I figured out why I'm not going bald: Nothing in my mind; all the weeds grow on top of my head. Keep smiling, Joe.

I'm bald as a bean. But if hasn't done me much good:) Those roots go deep. Thank you, Gershon. Blessings my friend.

Certainly got me thinking Joe. I read a T-Shirt that said " I don't like folk that think they know everything, getting in the way of people like me that do know everything" Loved your poem. I think as we get older we cant remember, cause our brains as so full of stuff we cant fit any more in.

:)) Love it. Nothing more I care to anyway...I am back to my files of Looney Tunes, a bottle of Ballantine and my old Ludwig drum-set. Cigarettes are still a no. Blessings my friend.

What we think we know-- rules us--as you so well say my friend. Einstein did go far with his theory of relativity. Potent write, Joe.

Thank you, Vijay. People need to be more fearless, in my opinion. We see nothing as it really is. We see according to our own programing and the programing of others. The real of anything is yet to be discovered. The closest we can come is by way of sensing spiritual substance, essence of deeper reality hidden behind our many curtains of lesser consciousness.
