The Briny Muse Forum Creativity

The waters of creativity flow from heaven and come to the man in 'prison'. Such a man has committed himself to a specific identity in life and is attempting to fulfill it to the whole. Husbands, fathers, professionals, artists - when they come to fulfill their roles will find it wanting and eventually chide themselves for being less than faithful. When at such a feeling of loss, in the fulfilling of a promise to be true, they find the voice of the creative impulse. Thomas Mallory's ' La Morte de Arthur' illustrates such a situation. Be true, stay the course, face the tests and don't say you don't know where your creativity comes from. It comes from your sense of being true.
