““Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.””
Simplicity and Creativity can be hard to describe. They can be a choice, a feeling, a longing, perhaps a guiding-light. You could even think of them as a spirit, because you can tell pretty quickly when you’re in a place that values simplicity and creativity.
These two qualities work very well together and support one another beautifully. Often times people are led to believe that their physical practice needs to be complicated or complex to be creative. This is simply not true. Just take a look at children playing.
They know nothing of the body. They don’t search out complexity. They search out expression and joy and novelty.
Just understand that simplicity and creativity are more than goals - they are skills. Simplicity is a skill. Creativity is a skill. And to use their full power we need to practice them.
Cultivate a simple physical practice and your creativity is sure to flourish.
This is a fine example of making your life more simple to deep your practice: Be Boring.
