As usually happens, my life this week has conspired to test out a previously academic theory around creativity. In other words something went horribly wrong, without warning and I found myself watching helplessly as my carefully built up structures fell to pieces around me.
What surprised me the most in the aftermath of the big important thing being lost, was a sudden explosion of euphoria, followed swiftly by a sense of freedom, and quickly after an avalanche of new ideas, solutions, and possibilities. The worst thing had happened, someone had moved the goal posts without my permission and my response was a pure rush of creativity.
