today: GOOD THINKING,
plus, BAD THINKING, DRIVING ME UP AGAINST THE WALL
plus, LOVING FEELINGS, THE WARMTH WITHIN

Elsa's Creativity Space - Update
   Hello again,    

Spring is here. Yesterday, spring sunshine. Today, spring rain. But even with the rain, I can hear birds singing.

And while it was raining outside, I've been indoors, writing to you. So what do I have for you today? Lots. Creative stuff. Idea pieces. And even, a bit about me.

Creative stuff: Chains in the Mind - and for something totally different, The Warmth Within.

Idea stuff. I start with one big question: What is good thinking?

And finally, what keeps me going?

****

Creative Stuff #1

Chains in the Mind

Up Against the Wall

Why these pieces? It's the feeling in these pieces - utter frustration - that got me to write about thinking. Which brings me to ...

****

Idea Stuff

All around, people say, Don't tell me what to think. I know what I think. All opinions are equal. Who's to say who's right or wrong?

That's the question. Is there a right and a wrong?

I've recently done loads of thinking about thinking. The result:
* a jiffy spiffy 2-ingredient non-secret recipe for good thinking;
* plus a list of 15 very popular opinions which violate the rules of good thinking.

You can start with either the 15 opinions or the 2 main ingredients of good thinking.

(Note: you'll need to put in a password - FREE - to get to those ingredients.)

But there's more to life than frustration, bad thinking and good thinking ....

****

Creative Stuff #2

So now, for something different - love, and a love poem, love song.

The Warmth Within

touch me with your hand
       my dear
pull me close
      against your chest ...

Here it is, a love poem, a love song, romantic and tender.

(Note: you'll need a password- FREE - to get to all of The Warmth Within.)

****

And then, what keeps me going?

The urge to reach. That's a big part of it. Of course there's a lot more, like the urge to feel and think and express . But having felt and thought and expressed, I care to reach others - I have the sense I have something valuable for others. Not all others, of course. There are billions of people in the world.

At this point, I've built a site that reaches out. It gets over a thousand page views a day - 1128 a day, on average, in March '09. This update is another reaching. If it has things for you, great.

****

And with that, all the best to you, and to whatever keeps you going.

P.S. Comments are very welcome.

P.P.S. A photo. Whenever I look up from my computer, there's at least one cat around. In this case, Mama Cat and the Scaredy-Cat Princess were curled together for hours.

Welcome to Elsa's Creativity Space

New! Elsas Creativity Space Update.
Anger Poems, Anger Poem: Up Against the Wall.
Why? This Is Stupid Opinions.
On the Other Hand, Love Poems and Songs,
and even Good Thinking.

Elsas Creativity Space,
an all-round creativity site
exploring moments, memory, thoughts
through spoken word, song, story,
idea pieces, rap, journal, reflection, dreams, more.
Elsas Creativity Space.

Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity emporium is
Elsas creativity place

Gertrude Stein said, almost a century ago, a rose is a rose is a rose.

Much easier to say that, than to say
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity space.

But just as a rose is a rose is a rose,
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity space -
whether it's about the ultimate reality
or a shopping song abut shopping for dreams/

One could even go on to say that
a rose is a rose by any other name.

Likewise, one could hold that
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity space
by any other name -
whether it's about religious beliefs,
a shopping poem or something else.

And many humans might not even notice if,
instead of
Elsas creativity space
I wrote
Elsas creativity place
or
Elsas creativity site.

Most humans would just register that it's
Elsas creativity something or other.

Or they might just see: the ultimate reality,
or shopping song about shopping for dreams.

And it is.
But there's more.

The name is a signal.

This is
Elsas creativity place
Elsas creativity space.

i am not calling mayday. This is not a distress signal.

It's a hello signal, come see me, notice me.

Hello,
it's Elsas creativity space
Elsas creativity place
calling all search engines
to find me on my island
deserted but fertile
enchanted but isolated
creative and creating but too too alone.

Who will help me through my dark?
Who will help me make my mark?
Who will help me build my ark?
I cannot do it alone.

I'm calling to people
but strangely it's not people
I am turning to for help.

It's the web
the world wide web.

I'm calling hoping the web will hear that
Elsas creativity place
Elsas creativity space
is calling, calling, calling with longing and hope -
for a shopping spree, a shopping song, about ...
more than shopping, about the ultimate reality.

signed,

Elsa
