Creativity – The Force For Everything

saraswati
The Goddess of Creativity, Saraswati

Sometimes I wonder why I bother with creating, especially when that creativity is abused.  I create tangible wonders and fantastic art.  And I only ask simply to be paid a fair wage, in a timely fashion.

I’ve been putting up with intimidation and threats lately.  I’m broke as a church mouse, while others who haven’t paid their bill cavort and splurge, travel and over-extend.  I build sites, edit trailers and films, shoot photography and somehow am penniless and homeless.

Accusations fly, but I’ve stayed too long at the party.  I’ve trusted too much and hoped so high.

Now, the simple tasks of new work, a new home, a new path emerges.

My peace is defensive right now, and I don’t know what’s coming, but I cannot extend my heart or talent any longer to people who abuse it.  The universe has sent me a shit storm to once again remind me to build and maintain better boundaries.  Never trust on faith or a handshake, get it in writing.

Peace,
Melissa
