morning thought - creativity

I did not start this day thinking about creative endeavors, unlike most days. I began listening to the Book of Mormon, and in it Nephi was talking about how his older brothers were upset that he was trying to tell them what to do when it was the birthright of the eldest to reign. Naturally, I thought of all of the similar instances where a younger sibling sort of usurpes the birthright, and how the beauty of such happenings is the artistry of telling important things in a way like a parable, and how it is a humanity to be creative and express things cathartically. And so, that little story speaks more about things that are not spoken of openly, and yet, here they are causing a whole group of people to digest and accept the notion that a birthright may fall to a younger sibling without preaching anything about who they are or what is right or wrong ethically... oh, not at all what I was meaning to say. I will try again,  over and over again, are stories about a younger son ruling over the elder, and why would that theme be presented over and over if not to cause us to understand a greater truth so that if a similar situation becomes known to us, we would readily accept it habitually maybe. 

Also, it answered my personal question as to why creativity was so important to me...it was a moment when the bird realized they were in a cage and that it need not always be the case.... Aurora Leigh
