Despite the harsh reality, one of the few positive things that the current health crisis has brought about is doubtlessly the fact that the lockdown has allowed - or even forced - many of us to take time out to listen to our inner self and let those creative bits we all have to find a way out and manifest themselves through music, writing, cooking, DIY, handicrafts ... you name it. In this talk by classical pianist James Rhodes you may learn a bit about what he claims music can do for you and how accessible it should be.
Wouldn't it be nice to always set aside a little time to explore what's inside us and then try to materialize those parts of ours that are usually hidden or left to rot? Can people be taught to be creative? How important should creativity be in our lives? Go on, let us know what's inside you.

In this word, where all of us find out what we need looking outside, it is very difficult to let flow creaivity. Maybe because looking outside is easier and confortable than looking ourselves and discover what we are able to do. All we are creative in way or anoher, since we have feelings and experiences, which can be materialice on a piece of music, in a blank sheet, in a dance, in a piece of wood, in a canvas, in the ingredients of a meal, everywhere.
all you have to do is look inside yourself and put the fears aside, or even better, turn them into something creative.
In This way you will feel better about yourself and others.
Obviously, if you set you creativity free you will feel hapier and above all more human.
For me, a blank sheet is a provocacion, a place where I can throw up all my feelings; happiness, sadness, anger, failures, dreams and so and so. For my daughter that place is on the piano keys.
The key is to know the place and how to develop your creativity. Any place is good! It really worth a try.
Somehow, creativity is an Universal language of which we are all part.

I remember an interview in which Ferran Adria Told 'The spaniards are very creative people. The problem is to be courageous and persistent'. In my opinion, this quote complements very well the James Rhodes' speech. Our brain is lazy. It is always looking for pretexts for not to think, rather than using the potential that any of us have (even those who believe they are Good-for-nothing). Learning to be creative is possible, undoubtly. But it will be very difficult while we continue looking for the reasons why things happen to us outside instead of exploring inside ourselves and finding what we are able to do.
Yes, we had a lot of time for classes that we really wanted to do. For example, study astrology.
