Create-of Day 1

Nothing, yet Everything

I am nothing
of the thoughts I have.

I am nothing
but the wishes I had.

I am nothing
if not the comments of me.

I am nothing
but the reflections on me.

I am everything
I have wished to be.

I am everything
I brought myself to be.

I am not: thoughts of me.

I am: realizing me.

This is a first in a series that I wish to fulfill. I call it Create-of Day. Partially out of the desire to break from consuming casual media, and partially out of a desire to hone my skills, I realized that nearly every day for the past recent memory has so far been creative. Whether it be photography, composing, or something else, why shouldn't I mark each creative day with a create-of-the-day.

I dream it could be every day, but surely I will miss something. Perhaps it will just be a poem or a picture. Or like today it will be a font of creativity with a new composition, a poem, a post, a picture, a painting! ... Perhaps I'll postpone the painting though. I have yet to hold a brush.

I sit here, in Copenhagen, on a rainy and pensive day, alone with my thoughts. Today was a good morning though, despite the instant coffee. Despite the thick clouds, the light outside is dim, yet even, casting soft shadows on the puddles on the way to the corner market for yogurt and bananas. My partner is out braving the rain, yet hurrying back for what little lunch break a banana smoothie can make. It will be a nice lunch. Today is the first rain of fall, the last moments of summer.

Be creative.
