My great friend, Dan White*, who has more creativity in his left tooth than I can ever dream of having, has been stirring up a wonderful pot of creative stew. First he challenged our musical friends to write 5 songs in 5 days. He called it 5-in-5 and you can check out the wonderful results here.
I was in awe of these people who diligently made songs each day. There are funny songs, romantic songs, songs about loss and about rejoicing. It was wonderful to check in that week to see what new music everyone came up with.
Next Dan asked all of us creatives to produce something, well, creative within a week. There was a great response to what Dan called The Mosaic Project. I contributed a trio of haiku poems which you can read there. Just take a leisurely scroll down the other projects until you find mine.
Again, I marveled at what we can make when we put our minds to it, or are forced into a deadline! (I always work better under pressure.) Photos, short stories, poetry, songs, and exercise routines are some of the things came out of us this week.
I’d like to thank Dan “Awesome Man of God” White for giving all of us a goal and a firm prodding to do something special with our days.
*Dan is part of a great band named Finding Bethel. You can learn more about them at their website. Their music is also available on I-Tunes.
I love this - all of us creating at the same time and now all of us pointing to that creativity from our various blogs. I have such an inspiring community of friends and family. And how brilliant - a trio of haikus for the trinity. Beautiful.
