The literature on creativity is full of tales of breakthrough experiences. These moments come when you let go of some impediment or fear, and boom - in whooshes the muse. You feel clarity, power, freedom, as something unforeseen jumps out at you. The literature of Zen… abounds with accounts of kensho and satori - moments of illumination and moments of total change of heart. There come points in your life when you simply kick the door open. But there is no ultimate breakthrough; what we find in the development of a creative life is an open-ended series of provisional breakthroughs. In this journey there is no endpoint because it is the journey into the soul. Stephen Nachmanovitch in Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art Comments are welcome!
