Structure and Creativity

There's a lot to be said for structure - having a workout plan, dietary policy and meditation guideline. I write daily and know that it is part of the structure to my day and not only that - it helps give my day structure. A writer writes. Too often this seems to be forgotten and we find our wait for inspiration stretching past days into weeks and months. Inspiration is always present but sometimes needs to be teased from hiding. Structure can provide the coaxing and within it's rigidity a flow of creativity can take place. The same holds true for running, for meditating and even diet. I know that I will eat within certain perimeters and yet inside these vegan walls I am free to create a dish of pure pleasure or simple sustenance to fuel the body. Structure provides the health benifits (veganism) and the invitation of inspiration serves the rest!
Creat structure - then get crazy.

Peace,
Eric
