Creating Sanctuary (3)

Who are these co-creators and facilitators? These designers, architects, artists? Right brainers? Most probably. I am one of them, that's for sure... Though I love to balance intuition and improvisation with thinking and planning. There are limitations even to creative expressions.

Writer on architecture and urban design, David Masello has stated, "Just as paintings are confined to a frame, so are poems to a page. Most poets still adopt the stanza (the Italian word means "room") to organize their canvas of images." The "room" artists/architects/designers go to, may be of our own devising. Limitations and even constrictions may be vital to creativity. A "creator" is an independent unit and a self-energizing force. And as creative people we need roots to channel this force and contain this unit. We also need the ability to say, "I'm not going anywhere."
