Hatch an idea today

Each morning I practice what Julie Cameron suggest in her book, The Artist Way. Ms. Cameron says that in order to get to the creative part of our Brian we must silence the critical part. Writing three pages of whatever is going on in that soup mixture in our heads allows us to be freed from the constant Judge which labels all of our wonderment as  foolish. This silencing of the Judge encourages the creative genius to step out.It takes some time to accept that their is genius here right inside of us.

 I attended a week long Entrepreneurial Workshop sponsored by the Idea Village in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago. The young entrepreneurs must have learned this approach to creativity. There were so many ideas bouncing around the rooms that I felt the energy. The creative energy that exists in all of us.

What would happen if we had classroom incubators? Church incubators? Office incubators? What kind of ideas could we generate if we silenced the critical part of our brains each day?

I remember being fascinated in the Chicago Natural History Museum watching baby chicks hatch.
I was 40 years old and stood with the children riveted by this display. The chicks, once hatched, all clumped together. It seemed that they needed the support of one another to stand.

We are not chicks.....we are eagles who think that we are chicks....

Spread those awesome wings and FLY.
