The Jung quote, is fasanating, you continue to inspire me to open my mind.
Jung was quirky, but I love many of his ideas and have a number of his quotes. One of my colleagues has asked me to post my quotes at work for the staff. Such fun!
Great! Another reason to play!
Isn’t that the truth. And speaking of play, when do you head to Croatia?
I wonder why you took photo of Algae, instead of beautiful landscape at Johnston Lake. Maybe you got bored of watching too beautiful scenery (attachment). In this sense, you may have a perverse nature or a warped disposition. But it can be also said that your creative mind was playing with the objects (Algae) it loved. I guess the objects (Algae) grasped yourself through your detachment (right perception). The truth is that ugly algae and beautiful landscape are interdependent. “This is, because that is.”
I find beauty in many things. The pattern in this algae has a curious grace and elegance. I love landscapes, but they don’t challanege my spirit to see their beauty because they are beautiful. Finding beauty where no one looks, for me, opens my heart. Thank you for coming for a visit. I love having guests!
Hats off! I have to apologize to algae to have said that it is ugly. You really found beauty in algae. I am impressed by your insight. It may be an unconscious cognitive therapy. It still looks like a weather map for me, though.
A weather map with a nice looking hurricane on it can be pretty darn exciting!

Hahaha… Almost looks like my algae. Well done.
Maybe, your creative mind wants to play with amazing Lava Flows at Iceland Volcano as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrKiqdKihDI
Loved that. Really loved it. Would love to go there one day. Another one to add to the bucket list. Thanks for the link.
This quote just opened something up for me. I’ve just finished crafting a card and gift for a friend. I started with one idea and went in an entirely different direction. That’s when the joy in the creative process happened for me. I used to think I lacked creative vision when I wasn’t able to plan out my idea in my head ahead of time.
Playing with bits of paper and ephemera lead to the ideas and the final creation.
Thank you!
Loved this. I really think when we let go we have far more creative power. It’s funny you should mention this. One of my favorite artist quote site had two quotes I think you’ll like.
“To some extent I happily don’t know what I’m doing. I feel that it’s an artist’s responsibility to trust that.”
– David Byrne (of Talking Heads), musician, composer
And
“My paintings evolve organically from life’s everyday glances. Rather than trying to force my will on them, I give them total control. Each layer determines and guides the next”
– Dion Archibald, Australian, painter
