Inside the Box

1.10.2010

I'd really like to be the one who is artistically and creatively out of the box. Someone who inspires people to think deeply - to step out and be confidently themselves. And be one who doesn't care what people think if her own notions are so "out there."


I'm still so 'inside the box.'

'So there's 'out of the box' which is often merely a variation of the same thing. And then there are those who think and feel and live and create from a different place. They've had their boxes smashed until they had no other option but to imagine a totally new tomorrow.'
~Rob Bell, Drops Like Stars

And tell me Rob Bell, why, why does it take smashed boxes to imagine a new tomorrow? Why can't it come out of the passion of being, rather than suffering? Why smashed and not whole?


Why?

    Perhaps the box need not be smashed, but opened in order to let the content release itself into life! :o)

    Or, in some cases, the struggle of smashing could act as the process a butterfly goes through in emerging from the chrysalis... struggle sets you free.
