Recently I wrote three poems, one after the other, they tumbled out from my hands. It took a while longer to finalize all of them, but the editing process was as fluid as the raw writing. Last year I wrote two books, which will be released in the coming months. People marvel at this productivity, but from my perspective this is the easiest part of my life and the most joyous.
I jokingly said to a dear friend the other day, “Creativity is my drug of choice.” It makes everything all-right. I confess that I may be addicted to it. But this is not an addiction with any negative side-effects. It feels like movement, like dancing, like breathing, and like love. It is a graceful, effortless outpouring from my soul. It is my truest voice and my greatest fun.
How does this abundance come from my heart, my being, with such ease? In the creative process that seems to overtake me of its own accord, at unpredictable times, though most often now in the very early mornings, I am utterly surrendered to my authenticity. It is a spark of joy that once ignited, spreads like wildfire.
The Yetzirah Experience
In Hebrew the word for formation is Yetzirah. My formation as a human and the creative expression of my being are the same Yetzirah.
The unfolding of pure being, Yetzirah, brings with it stunning focus. The poem, the writing, or any form that suits the expression, is accompanied by the sword of discernment. It must find its bullseye, which is the completed expression. It is compelling, all-consuming. Distraction is impossible.
In this Yetzirah experience, I am somatically aligned with purposefulness, with Gaia, and with my ancestors. I feel their presence in my spine and in my connective tissue. The alignment is structural. My spine is my stem and my skin; my cells are my flowering.
This is an act of blooming, of coming forth from the earth and aiming for the heavens. It is electrifying in the best possible way. I am alight with love and purpose. That purpose absolutely demands completion. I cannot leave the expression until it is done. And knowing when it is done is inherent in the focus. If it takes minutes, days, months or years, I will not leave it. It inhabits me. I am its devotee. I cannot abandon it, though sometimes there is what seems to me to be a delay, like in the novel and the screenplay that I have been nurturing for decades. I trust that this is actually not a delay, but a harboring.
I celebrate this enlivening addiction to Yetzirah, to manifesting purpose. I transmit it to you in all my writing. I can accompany you directly in following your Yetzirah to completion. For the month of May, my birthday month, I am offering Crone Sessions at the reduced price of $150USD for an hour.
These sessions are usually $250USD. If you upgrade from a free to a paid Crone Speak subscriber, I will reduce that price to $140USD for one hour of Crone Speak guidance for you and your creative expression. In these sessions you are invited to share with me your creative trajectory, send me your writing or project if you would like me to make editorial suggestions or comments, and/or meet with me on Zoom for consultation.
