On Creativity...

Perhaps the nature of creativity is not vertical but horizontal. Perhaps there are no hierarchies, prescribed orders, or canonical convictions. The tree makes music as beautiful as the snake with its sinusoidal rhythm that sounds as mesmerizing as the storm ripping apart the earth with the cadence of its waves and the pizzicato of rain drops landing on the back of slaves who moan a song as ancient as all the hurt in the world. We are all playing in the field of the gods, creating when the gods are not looking. --The Lesser Violin
