Text: There is a certain joy in creating together. Certainly there's a joy on creating on your own mother at the painting knitting web design or any other creative endeavor. And there is a particular joy to be found in creating something beautiful. Together. There is a dance and interplay and exchange of ideas and meaning and emotion. Whether it's cooking a meal together or singing in the choir. Collaborating on creativity. Means listening and paying attention to what others are doing. So that you can contribute. In harmony to the greater whole. Educational downside of reading together is that sometimes we can worry too much about how good we are. I sometimes worry that others will judge us perhaps on our skill or are supposed are supposed lack thereof. The thing is that fear of judgment from the outside is usually far greater than the actual amount of judging happening. Even worse than all of that. Is the fear of judge is the even worse than the fear of judgment from the outside. Is when we judge ourselves. I remember talking to my uncle on the phone one time when i was 14 or 15. I've been learning to play the flute for about six or seven years at that point and become reasonably good at it. A certain point in the conversation my uncle asked. How were you able to stick it out. I've been trying to learn to play the guitar he said and i've been taking lessons for about a month. But i just keep getting discouraged i sound. Terrible. Didn't have to think long and hard about my response. Uncle jake it's taken me years to get this go to playing the flute you're not going to get there in a month. You're going to have to practice for a long time before you get really good at it. And i kind of wanted to add onto the end of that well duh. Fortunately even as a fourteen-year-old i had enough sense to leave that part out. But the dog in my head came from the fact that it never once occurred to me that i was sticking it out. As a kid i didn't have the stuff that's in my uncle ad. I was just having fun learning and playing. Henry miller wrote. Everyday we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we got a heartache when we reviewed those lines written by the hand of a master. And recognize them as our own. At the tender shoots which we stifle because we lacked the face. I believe in our own powers our own criterion of truth. We are all kings all poets all musicians would have only to open up. Discover what is already there. We are all kings and queens. All poets are musicians. If only to open up. Discover what is already there. Those are words to live by. As we have received the shared feed tivity of musician so far this morning. As we share in creating music by singing hymns together. As we are blessed with a musical offerings yet to come. Maybe be inspired to find that place of judgement free creativity within ourselves. Whether it's individual collaborative or both. There is joy and goodness to be found in the simple act. You are king you are queen you are a poet or a musician you're a painter you're a knitter you're a sculptor. You are a maker of all things new. You. A creative. May you open up to discover. What is already there.
