When Ula Einstein and I began Shoot, Show, and Share for Express It Forward we knew what our intentions were, however, not what they would look like 100% in action. It is our engagement with creativity in the raw. I would say an important tenet of creativity is to always keep in mind that it is a messy process, it is supposed to be that way—it can be no other way. Creativity requires trust, and a willingness to experiment. We jumped right in to investigating the relationship with our (as in all of us) creative license; the things that we need to nurture, roadblocks to creativity, and habits to look out for. All with the intention of ’getting out there’ with a fresh relationship to our creative processes. Express It Forward is about creativity-in-motion—not just the talk, but the doing. Now with three shoots under our belts, we thought it necessary to rewind and touch on the Who/What/Where/and Why of Express It Forward.

With authentic truth and judgement there is pure uncertainty. Even at the very edges of the explosion that is continually giving birth to life, there exists no glance of future, only imagination. The explosion is the birth of time, and all else that follows. The only moment, for sure, is happening right now. Perfection is Nirvana. Yet if life is never-ending, Nirvana is limited only to our relationship to life—but life itself will always be imperfect. Embrace this, and embrace change.
