Creativity as a water-birth

The infinity of intellect seems to clog the pipes of creativity 

When the entirety of understanding is attempted to be born all at once

A living breathing organism is born into life

The way it is born into time

gradually

Limb by limb

Breath by breath

Becoming intimately familiarly

With the ways in which the waters of Time flows 

through and around creation

with loving warmth

and nourishing embrace

saying “slowly… your time will come”
