Plagiarism

Nature has no secrets no doors to be unlocked we are our own mystery hiding keys and denying entrance Einstein created nothing Mozart wrote nothing when at our best we are plagiarist listening and responding when at our worst we are plagiarist birthing physical facsimiles to our world who survives by eating its own young – Answer: the I in the I vs the I in the we

hmmm, i am not sure that anyone else would have composed exactly what Mozart did, but I get the gist here and I really like this a lot.

:)) I certainly cannot. The gist is all the intention. Thank you, Andrea; composed this more to keep myself humble and grateful. Blessings my friend.

At our best and at our worst we are plagiarists ! What a paradox ! Plagiarism as such is contemptible. But we borrow ideas and sometimes phrases from others . Will it be treated as plagiarism .....? Great write, Joe !

Well, if we look for muses, or communion with spirit, we are drawing from the infinite stream (well) of possibilities already provided us by the Creator. Only true creativity, independent creativity, can come from Oneness with God. It is an eternal process.

Well written.it has a rhythm to it, Prince! I shall never be Hemingway or Debussy and those to be born cannot be you or me. Plagiarism is theft. A few years ago, we had one here.it took a team of four or five Of us to get him removed! He had many fooled. But I give people the right to-say things. as they see it. That’s what artists do.

Absolutely!! Alone we are self-centered, cutoff from greater humanity and our Source, God. We need blending for inspiration and love. Without love, nothing is living. Just existing.
