Create.

I’ve shared this before, but also, I’ve heard that Art is the first thing that tyrants censor.

@Luke Creativity can help liberate the mind - one that the powerful want to control and censor ...
@NicelyManifest that’s the stuff, right there. Freedom of the mind.
@Luke Maybe that's why I always liked music and drawing and writing (and reading), maybe I was always intuitively anti-tyrant! :)
@optimiced well said.
Also, I feel there’s a danger in a person thinking they aren’t creative, or when we define creativity as simple paint and brush and that’s a limiting view.

@Luke @optimiced Very much so - many are conditioned by education systems and society into seeing activities only via initial competence and achievement status.

I was useless at woodwork at school. Doing things my own way I later did 10 years of cabinet making at home.

@Luke When I get into that subtly different open creative mindstate, I feel very different. I lose all sense of time and place and doing daily life - the thing being crafted is all that I perceive.
