A Creative High

I don't know why...maybe it's spring with all its splashes of new colors and fresh smells or maybe it's the quest of looking for a house (aka...a needle in a haystack) or maybe it's because I just passed my one year Blogiversay...but I'm on a bit of a creative high. I'm still knee deep in knitting the shawl for Shane's aunt, but it's coming along beautifully (and with help from Judith, I was able to track down the type of yarn...Prism in Cabernet. Phew!) I have so many craft ideas running through my head at the moment, that I feel like I'm going to burst. Below are just some of the things that are inspiring me for a big bunch of different crafts. Hope they lift you creative spirits as well!

Sioux Creation Story

"FROM DREAM TO REALITY" By Jose Lampreia

I forgot where I heard the following, but when I did, I remember coming home and wanting to save the words for future inspiration. I just came across this while cleaning and wanted to share. I find it to be very moving.

The Creator gathered all of Creation and said,"I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality.

"The eagle said, "Give it to me, I will take it to the moon." The Creator said, "No. One day they will go there and find it.
"The salmon said, "I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean." "No. They will go there too.
"The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the Great Plains." The Creator said, "They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there."

Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, "Put it inside of them."And the Creator said, "It is done."
