To Create Is To Exhale

[A short one today:]

To create is to exhale.

To create is to realize that after all the taking-in and the processing, you need to room to breathe.

Create space

Create conversation

Create connection

Create room for rest, where you need to

Create a sense of motion, where you need to

Create something worth sharing

Create something worth keeping

Create a world where there’s room for things to take form, not just accumulate, even in the smallest ways.

Sometimes, creating will take on the form of art, written words, or something tangible and also, many other times, it can take on the form of anything that reminds you: it matters to have space in life what’s been building can finally move somewhere. Even a quiet shift can be the start of something expansive, that grows with time. - Morgan Harper Nichols
