The symbolism of pyramids and trees is indeed interesting. Not many know it, but there are living trees on this planet that are much older than any pyramid. In the race to the heavens, I’d rather climb a tree.

Thanks Spencer that means a lot to me. You absolutely should pursue your own creative avenues. Picasso said something to the effect, “that all children are artists. The trick is to remain a child after we grow up.” We just get so self conscious about or work or create any number of excellent excuses not to make the space in our lives to be creative. For me, I feel like if not now, when? Am I really willing to look back on my life several years from now and feel like I wasted my gift? No way! We all have been given a gift or gifts, and it’s each of our responsibilities to share that. So yeah, go for it!

I love walking through this with you Bruce. I recently was inspired to pick up my own creative processes and apply at work via an artist Erik Wahl. He spoke at a conference I attended and his presentation centered around the internal artist in everyone.
Your thoughts here are also inspiring to help me continue to reach inside and release my inner creativity. Thanks Bruce and I look forward to seeing more.
