WORDS MUSIC
Words Music. Walking with John Lennon, I felt peace for a while.

Walking by the beach I saw John Lennon. Yoko was with him. I imagined old friends. Felt peace for a while. I know it's just my fantasy, my own land of dreams, but man, I love you too, I do.

Rockstar popstar, man I've dreamed of from afar, man with terrors of his own, man like me sometimes alone.

I know it's just my fantasy, my own land of dreams ...

Words Music, words beat, words intensity. ESCAPE VELOCITY – I need to reach.

The doors are locked. The roads are blocked. The maps are lost. Can't scale the walls. Can't cross the falls. Can't crack the shell. My nerves shriek. I need to reach ESCAPE VELOCITY. Words music rap.

IS SHE GOOD ENOUGH? Or terms of endearment are cheap. Words music folk country.

You call me honey. You call me dear. But terms of endearment are cheap, I hear. Cause you call me sweetheart. You call me pet. But you always want to hedge your bets. You're always wondering.

THE IDEA EMPORIUM
Whose Dog Is It Anyway? Pets, Ownership, Slavery.
Aminal Rights, Human Rights, What's Right?

The dog next door wants to move in. He's been hungry. He's often cold. He's left alone for days in the barn. We have two dogs, nine cats (we live in the country) - and a warm house where our pets are welcome. We'd like to give him a home. But he belongs to the farm next door. The big question: should the dog be allowed to choose?

What God Likes versus I Absolutely Know This is Wrong.
A Childhood Memory.

I am seven. Well-meaning friends of my parents give me a child's version of the bible. I read it and am stunned. Someone kills animals and burns then, just like that. I read that passage over and over. I can not believe it. Even more, I can not believe what happens next. God likes it. Something breaks inside me.

THE CREATIVITY BLOG
Elsas Creativity Blog. Creative fire, always changing. A welcome friend.

Creative drive. Creative fire. Creative passion. Intense in my life just now. Different every time it grips me. A drive to complete things, this time. Elsas Creativity Blog explores my central drive.

Permalink -- click for full blog
_________________________________________________________________________

Burning with Creative Fire, Creative Drive, Creative Energy. Different Every Time. Finishing Fire, this time.

I find it hard to stop. I don't want to take the time to eat, sleep. I want to keep going. I can tear myself away - I have to go to the bathroom, feed the cats and dogs, let the dogs outside.

Creative fire. It warms me like nothing else. Different each time, from sparks that lead to new projects, to an intense inner drive to bring work to completion, out into the world.I welcome it. But I wouldn't mind if it burned just a bit less brightly. It's not always easy, to be so driven.

On being bored enough to scream by everyday pleasures,
but loving creativity.

Having fun, chitchatting, having a long meal, savoring everyday things. Most of the time I am bored out of my tree.

All my life, all my adult life anyway, I have spent a lot of time trying to get away from the boringness of the way everyday life is usually lived. I endure that life when I have to.

What do I enjoy? I am sitting under trees in a quiet spot. No one is talking. No one else is around. I am not bored. Most, creativity does not feel boring to me.

WORDS MUSIC
Words music, word beat, spoken word. The Sexe-Tetes go for White Chocolate.

Words music with the Sexe-Tetes. Do you want to come for a skinny dip? Flash, rhinestones, and all that jazz. Helping homeless children and homeless animals. And more.

The Sexe-Tetes - women in search of whatever happens to attract their attention, such as white chocolate and hot fudge sauce, children without homes, animals without homes, and rhinestones.

     White chocolate and hot fudge sauce
     What in the world am I thinking of?
     Coconut cream and banana splits
     D'you want to come for a skinny dip?

     A skinny dip in the lake in the dark
     The two of us splashing throwing off sparks
     Then on to the beach and the ice cream shack ...

Between the feeling and the fact, between the longing and the act, a gap. Words music, words capturing moments.

A dozen years ago, I began to wake up with word pieces in my head. Words music, spoken word, songs. Escape velocity. Echo of the echo. Tank almost empty. Can't cross the gap. Welcome into my world.

     between the feeling and the fact
     between the longing and the act
            a gap

     I stand at the edge
        between this side and that
        between the urge and turning back
     I stand at the edge
            of the gap

     I stand at the edge
          airplane door open

THE CREATIVITY BLOG
Elsas Creativity Blog. Taboos. Who may see what? A teacher explores.

Taboos. Who may see what? What's okay to share with students? Ideas, yes. What about childhood experiences? Creative writing? Elsas Creativity Blog explores: me the teacher, me the writer, boundaries.

Elsas Creativity Blog. An uphill battle. Hard to find a home for creative work.

Creativity. Once again, lots of effort, but for what? Elsas Creativity Blog explores: the writer, artist, musician, performer, thinker taking stock of creative work. No giving up. Discouragement

That happens a lot, over and over and over.

There's no area of my life where there are so many highs and lows, so many ebbs and flows as creativity.

New idea. High.

Getting it right. I can get bogged down.

Getting it out into the world. That's the hardest part.

Over and over, there's starting, going, stalling - and starting again. Discouragement.

Elsas Creativity Blog. From cog to wheel to vehicle. Creative breakthrough.

From a cog in a wheel, to a wheel, to a vehicle. Feeling powerful, confident, on the verge of success. Elsas Creativity Blog explores: getting unstuck, moving, achieving. Creative breakthrough.

I know all about staring at white space, and even more, often rewriting and rewriting, unsure of what works and what doesn't, convinced the words are not quite right, no matter how often I go over what I've written.

But there is also something different. Not uncertainty. Not being blocked.

Intense creative flow. A sense of being on a river of creativity. A rip-roaring river that could not possibly run dry.

I know that isn't so.

But all the same, good to take a moment and savor this sense of creative power, empowerment, like a surfer on the highest wave.

Welcome to Elsa's
word story image idea music emporium.

An all-round creativity site
exploring moments, memory, thoughts
through spoken word, song, story,
idea pieces, rap, journal, reflection, dreams, more.
Elsas Word Story Image Idea Music Emporium.

All my life, creativity has played an enormous part. The magic of story, music, idea. In Elsas word story image idea music emporium, there's space for many forms of creativity - yours and mine.

JULY 9 , 2006

What is this place, beyond its name?

The name is actually a good place to start - Elsas word story image idea music emporium. This place is not just about one form of creativity. It's for many forms of creativity,

from a preteen story,
to hip hop music to trip hop music,
to all kinds of music with words,
from country to blues to rock to folk rock
to rap-like and raucous to mellow and more,
to spoken word,
to idea pieces and explorations,
to a creativity blog and an inner self blog,
and to images galore.

Plus, there's the same kind of space for other people. Getting that part done will take some time - the programming is beyond me. But like so much else it will happen.

I've never been able to settle into only one kind of creativity - or into only one interest, actually. The world is too wide, and my interests are too wide, for me to stay forever in one niche.

Elsas word story image idea music emporium, like me, will cover a lot of creative ground - including creative thinking. Good thinking often comes, in my experience, from the same kind of place as other forms of creativity - from really listening to oneself and the world.

JUNE 4, 2006

This place has been a long time in the coming, in the making.

It's been years and years since I got the idea for Zee's Cafe Cafe, a virtual cafe for me/Zee and lots of other alternative artists.

It's been a couple of years since the Fluffers Book (Caro Carolina, Geela Gribbs, and Fluffers the Invisible Dog) was sent out to publishers.

It's been a decade and a half since The Manfear Factor was completed, and later left on the shelf because I couldn't find takers and didn't have the energy to keep on trying.

The Chosen Home project - that's also been in the making for over five years.

And now here it all is, so many projects, for myself and for others, so many hopes and dreams, so many stories, images, ideas, thoughts, inspirations, so many moments where something has burned inside me, burned with the desire to come out into the world.

Other creative people and idea people have also often come up against the same blocks. This place is for them as well.

So once again, welcome - to browse, upload, enjoy, respond. My biggest hope - that something here touches you.

Elsa

Elsas word story image idea music emporium is

elsas word story image idea music emporium

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

Much easier to say that, than to say
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.

But just as a rose is a rose is a rose,
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.

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

Likewise, one could hold that
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
by any other name.

And many humans might not even notice if,
instead of
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
I wrote
Elsas word music image idea story emporium
or
Elsas word music story image idea emporium.

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

And it is.

But if you are at this site, it's very likely in part because of nonhuman intervention, web intervention -
anything but interference -
not perfect but another way of making a match
between what one is looking for
and what someone else has to offer.

A rose is something else by any other name.

Elsas word story image idea music emporium
is not
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
by any other name.

Not for the web.

For now the name is a signal.

So ...

This is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.

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

It's an sos signal - hello, come see me, notice me.

Hello,
it's Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
calling all search engines
to find me on my island
deserted but fertile
enchanted but isolated
creative and creating but too too alone.

Hello,
it's Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.

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 word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
is calling, calling, calling with longing and hope.

A note for those of you who, like me, care that I sometimes write "Elsas word story image idea all round creative space" and sometimes "Elsa's word story image idea all round creative space." I prefer to use "Elsa's" - this is the grammatically correct spelling. But there are rules of the web. One rule: there are places where one can't use apostrophes. Another rule: one is supposed, at specific times, to use the spelling identical to the place where one can't use apostrophes.

And sometimes it makes sense to follow the rules - on the web, it helps wth visibility, and so it helps bring people together.
