Thanks for sharing! I just finished listening to it as I am interested in doing full time saber smiting very soon. I just want to put a few more projects under my belt to prove my abilities. The idea of distancing from your work and accepting creative thought from an "out side source" is very healthy however, I feel that the "fairies" idea is misplaced. The Holy Spirit given as a gift to us from our loving God who loves all, is that "fairy". It is also the one she is talking to when she looks up. My credit is given to God for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through me and that not only is healthy but allows God to continue to use me without my self destruction. I have to give credit where credit is due. Just to note, I am not a "blind faith believer" I was a 100% evolutionist and as a matter of fact hatted Christians with a passion. It was through the study of Evolution and other sciences at Southwestern Michigan University that I found out about God. Even tho they did not teach that or even have a Bible in the school. I was a musician and an artist who thought he was great yet was failing to meet the demands of those around me. It was hurting me inside. I ended up on drugs and living the "party" life until I found College and more so when I discovered why I felt this way. I was without the one who made me. That empty hole that I felt I needed to fill with art, music, drugs or even knowledge was now filled. I could now go on to make the best music and art I had ever made. I could fail and it is okay. And my head was being filled with all kinds of knowledge about the world and other sciences as well.
Sorry, I went on so long. Just wanted to share. I by no means am saying that your belief is wrong. I am merely sharing something that may or may not help someone else who may need to here this exact thing. So, please don't condemn it. As I am sharing with the utmost respect for this forum and the people here in. I don't mean for this to be a debate topic either. I agree in thinking that one should be open to "creativity" and allow themselves distance from it as well. As a Saber smith I plan on having a work schedule. When my time is up for the day, then it's up. Time to put the tools down and be with my family.
