Creative Courage

Whimsy as Creative Resistance


Listen Later

My friend! What have you been up to lately?

In possibly the most exciting to answer to that question, four humans went on a mission to fly around the moon and realised that actually the best place to be in this galaxy is right here.

This big, blue and green ball is beautiful and full of whimsy and wonder.

This is where it’s at.

But it’s hard to remember these things when scrolls are dooming and the clocks are looming. In private chats Caroline Donahue and I have been sharing both our distress over certain events, while also feeling a fire to keep creating and to keep leaning in to the little, whimsical things that feel unnecessary now.

Are we being selfish? Are we putting our head in the sand by creating while “all of this” (gestures wildly) is happening? Or are we using the power we have to fight the best way we can?

We decided to bring the conversation out into the open and invite you into it as well because we felt it was just so important.

Talk soon,

Keeley
