As the days continued to pass, Showay began feeling more and more complete with his initial attempt to define what he saw at the farms. He was sure greater understanding would unfold as his capacity to welcome his receptivity in a masculine way expanded. To facilitate this process, he would remind himself often of a good friend’s advice who kindly suggested he should allow his life, or art piece, to breathe and interact with him so it could become something greater than what he had originally envisioned. "Don’t stifle it or limit it… or it will become the worst piece you have ever made," she had explained.
During the past few days he had turned his attention to finding a term that could be used to identify the kind of creativity he was awakening to. While several options came to mind, such as "mystical and magical creativity" or "sacred creativity", he felt that these terms could very easily become misinterpreted and send people off on a tangent. So today, he finally decided to settle for a less evocative term, knowing that sometime in the future, he would probably find better nomenclature. His choice was: ‘artless creativity’.
In elaborating upon this, he wrote:
"Creativity - in the sense of turning within to the Receptive so as to create in ways that are Divinely Inspired and can transcend worldly limitation. Where men express their creativity through their masculinity rather than a feminine persona, and women create through their femininity - both free of any restrictions or limitations imposed upon them.
Artless - in the sense that this creativity does not follow the suffocating norms and principles of acceptable artistic / societal / religious convention and false sense of superiority. Instead it acknowledges, welcomes, and embraces Nature, Heart, and Soul and therefore that which is beautiful, mystical and magical, sacred, and nourishes our Soul.
Where beauty is recognized as that which Harmonizes with Nature and therefore is simple and warms the Heart and Soul of the individual. That which transcends the intellect and awakens the sublime and noble in humanity - not unlike flowers and sunrises do.
Where the mystical and magical is identified as that which lays beyond the perceptual boundaries of conventional reality or distorted fantasies. As Aurora loosely explained: that which allows us to stop seeing ourselves as mortal and solid. That which allows us to see ourselves as able to fly, do the impossible, and talk to fairies. That space where all good things we imagine and deny in this reality are real. That which our world yearns for so much and is the much needed nourishment of the human endeavor.
Where sacred conveys the Wisdom of a willingness to welcome and receive Divine Influence and Presence in our lives and therefore to create in ways that are Harmonious with the Good Will and Intent of Creator for us to live a Joyful, Peaceful, Abundant, and Respectful Life in His Garden.
And finally, where that which nourishes the Soul is recognized as an aspect
of creativity and reality which simply put, makes us feel better because it
evokes warmth, comfort, and all those feelings that speak of our Divine and
Innocent Nature.
