Wind

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.
~ Catherine the Great

When there isn't wind, it seems like we are waiting for something to happen. The doldrums is the pause before something happens. Like in a tornado - it often gets very calm and weirdly quiet before the storm hits.

When the wind is blowing - something IS happening. You're holding on so things don't blow away. In a huge wind, you're holding on so YOU don't blow away. There is action required - motion, action, etc.

The thing is, you sometimes can get an imagination headache, too. You can be doing and thinking and making and creating and then your head hurts or gets tired. 

It's a lot like an ice cream headache. You love ice cream so much that you eat it too fast and then your brain hurts. Sometime creativity does the same thing. 

So, should you engage in creativity more slowly so as not to get a headache? Nope. Creativity is way too good to do that.

The that creative wind blow. If you absolutely must, take a break. Break creative wind. fART, if you must.
