Notes

Elizabeth Gilbert

She is a writer

Eat Pray Love – Memoir

Aren’t you afraid that you are never going to top that?  = Lots of pressure.

Yes she is.

Why are people afraid of doing the creative things they love?

Alcoholic manic-depressive.

Creative minds die young or become mad

“Each one of my books have killed me”

Creativeness leads to Anguish.

Anything she writes now will be compared to the world wide best seller.

Natural anxiety for the reaction to her writing

People believed that creative came from the gods from distance unknowable reason, called damens. The Romans called then geniuses

Like dobby the house elf they lived in the studio and invisibly helped you.

Pressure of expectations kills artists.

Why Not believe fairies make the works good by rubbing fairy juice on their works.

Ruth Stone, poet, out working in the fields and feel the poems coming to her and would run like hell to write the poems. And if she missed it, it went and to find another poet, if she caught it late she’d pull it by the tail and the poem would come out backwards from the last word to the first.

He looked up at the sky and said can’t you see that I’m driving right now??

Olay to you none the less for doing it anyway

Brains become inspired after being at it for days then doing something else like sleeping driving etc.

Lot of her speech was a metaphor, made light of an elusive subject.

The idea of play is huge, to get the creative juices flowing.

Stretch you creativity by getting out of your comfort zone J

Sir Ken Robinson

Second climate crisis not natural recourses but of human recourses that we make no real use of their talents

Simply go through their lives waiting for the weekend.

Others love what their lives and what they do.

Reform is simply redoing a broken model

We have to evolve into something else

Innovate; challenge what we take for granted.

Abe Lincoln – December 1862 the dogmas of acquired pants … we must rise with the occasion…act anew… disenthrall ourselves

Watches are a single function devise.

We are obsessed with getting people to collage.

Kindergarten starts at 3 …what

Human talent is diverse.

Tread softly for you are treading on my dreams J
