Hello
and Holiday Wishes,
My holiday gift to myself is ... nothing new on the creativity site this
month. Lots of fine tuning, but for once, not a whole new section.
It's time for a bit of time off - time to relax, replenish, enjoy daily
pleasures.
That's also my holiday wish for you. There's so much rushing these days.
May you have the time to enjoy some of life's everyday pleasures. Happy
holidaying.
But before I go off for the holiday season, I want to take a look at The
Creativity Emporium. Taking the time to do that is
another gift to myself.
I only started work on it in late May. And now, so much has been created.
At this time of year, maybe most important is the exploration of what
it means, to be at home.
Also, in Dr Zee's LoveLine, I've begun looking at what
it means, to be caring.
Then, music - a fun piece
- the Sexe-Tetes with White
Chocolate and Hot Fudge Sauce -
3 women and white chocolate.
If there are any preteens around you, there's The
Fluffers Book, a story about 13-year-old Caro,
an invisible dog, and questions about reality.
For those
of you who prefer more serious pleasures, there's The
Idea Emporium,
which includes ideas on the
Rage of the Self-Righteous, and
The Rottweiler Pope, The Danish Cartoon and Muslim Moderates.
Also, there
are lighter pieces on stupid
opinions that many people hold onto as if for
dear life,
at least here in Canada - like
the opinion that all opinions are equal.

Finally, there's a creativity blog, where I explore stuff like
- how much is it fitting for a teacher to share with students? TABOOS
- who may see what? some thoughts from me-the-teacher.

More
and more - but that's enough. I can remember other very busy years,
but not another one when so much got out into the world.
Once again, all the best to you in the Holiday Season. I hope you too
can look back, impressed by what you've managed to get done.
And
may you find time for whatever means the most to you, as well as time
for some time off.
Elsa
as for plans for the future ...
MUCH
MORE IS IN THE WORKS -
Most
of all, there's going to be space for other people's creative works - their
words, stories, images, music, ideas -
* at Zee's
Cafe Cafe, word, music and image emporium;
   
*
at My
Creative Space, where everyone will
be able to upload parts of their own creative works, as well as links to
their own sites;

*
and at My
Creative Match, for people who need
someone to bring creative works to completion - people with music that needs
words, with words that need music, etc.
  
 
AND
EVEN MORE IS PLANNED -
My Father's Worlds, My Father's Words
WHAT'S
NEW? EVERYTHING.
New
to the web, anyway. This site has been a long time in the making. But
as for being on the web, everything is brand new, just getting ready to
be uploaded. Excitement in the air. So much preparation has happened -
over time learning how to create for the web, and over the past few months,
how to get something visible for the web.
I
have the sense of being surrounded by carton after carton, each just waiting
to be unpacked in a new home.
I
keep wanting to write, it's like this or like that. Like moving into a
place of one's own for the first time. Like graduating and trying to find
one's way in the "real" world for the first time.
This
is entering another world.
I
have been slowly getting into it - or not so slowly lately. I've been
working on another site, and have seen how, if I just listened to what
the web wanted (through a site that taught me, brilliantly, how to give
the web what it wanted), then I could be heard on the web. One day, still
a total novice, I found the site at the very top on a big search engine,
the first of the non-sponsored sites.
Amazing.Baby
step after baby step added up to a huge leap, unimagined.
And
now this.
Each
project has been long in the making. More and more is being unpacked -
and new stuff is being created, like for a new home.
until
we meet again,
signed,
Elsa

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.
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
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.
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 emporium" and sometimes "Elsa's
word story image idea emporium." 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 with visibility,
and so it helps bring people together. Also it makes sense to me because otherwise
it seems to me that I am much more likely not to reach others - not to reach
a major goal.
