Do you create when things are falling apart? Is it a way to express the pain that is too much to keep inside?
Or are your acts of creation an expression of joy that can only take place when sheltered by a happy and stable environment?
For me it tends to be a balance (oh we haven't heard THAT before)... When my world is unbalanced for whatever reason, I can't seem to calm down or relax enough to concentrate... I can't seem to share when the pain is at it's sharpest...
On the other hand... the intoxicating energy of a situation going well is sometimes enough to keep me swimming along just enjoying it... The wonderful moments seem just too... private... to share...
So perhaps then... creativity is an act of reflection... a translation to some other medium those moments of heightened pleasure or pain...
When I'm far enough away to see them more clearly...
