Release Your Creativity

To touch it or not to touch it? That was the question. Conflicted in my creative persona, I stood in front of the interactive museum exhibit, gaping. Mouth closed of course, but gaping nonetheless. Comprised of at least a thousand round, uniformed lights in shades of blue, red, green, and purple on a black background, the display took up over half of the wall space it was attached to and resembled a Lite-Brite toy I used to have as a kid.

Bathed in the brilliance of it's glow, I glanced left, then right and moved in a little closer. Slowly, I reached out my hand and touched a blue light, which in turn remained blue. Refusing to be detoured, I turned the blue lamp half an inch to the right and poof! The coloration changed from dark blue to light blue. Without hesitation, I began rotating lights this way and that, constructing my own pattern on the board until my vision was complete.

The takeaway? Whether you're working in the garden, writing a blog post, or constructing a masterpiece with your own hands, don't curb your creativity. Instead, let your light shine!
