"Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better."––John Updike
Charise’s Turn:
You may be one of the fortunate ones, as I am, to have a home and resources to shelter-in-place during the current pandemic. We are all adapting to an altered way of living, making the best use of our creative potential. Creativity is a life tool. I’ve seen so many artists finding ways to create and share their art virtually. I’ve seen people applaud in the streets of New York City for the health care workers who are taking care of our sick. I’ve seen people figure out how to connect from a distance, and then think about reconnecting with others they’ve lost touch with, as we build our own sense of community in separate spaces. I’ve seen, in my own household, with three of us––including my daughter who left NYC when her college campus closed––the teamwork involved in sharing space and supplies. I’ve seen a fantastic fort made of branches in the park near my house, as children spend time outdoors, away from playgrounds and their more structured activities.
What have you seen? How are you tapping into your creativity during this time of great change?
