Glimmer

So.  There*s this vimeo by Ira Glass about the creative process.  It feels deeply true.  Not just for writers, or artists or the named/unnamed creative folk... you know, the ones who claim creativity as their life*s work.  No.  It seems true for all of us, working and practicing to get it more right, whatever it is.  Here it is:

I find it simple.  And brilliant.

Now

I sit with people

One by one

By one.

They sit with me

Too.

We teach each other

To listen,

Then listen some more.

Sometimes,

Really only sometimes,

A door or window

Cracks open

And we can ease it open

A little more,

Until we can see

What*s inside,

A glimmer

Of what*s inside.

Or a perhaps a glimmer

Of what*s outside.
