The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin
3.0
When I teach yoga, I love to have my students get into the same pose in a few different ways throughout class. For example, our warm up might start with low lunge, then lifting from low lunge to high lunge, then a bigger shift from down dog to high lunge. I like the way the pose becomes different based on how you arrive at it, even though it's technically the same.
I felt the same way reading this book. These are all ideas that I've found many times over while studying yoga and meditation and other forms of self-work, but Rubin is bringing them to the reader from the perspective of a musician and creator. It's beautiful that we are all looking for the same connection with what he calls Source and I call the universe and someone else might call god. We all want to express ourselves and feel seen.
Take a deep breath. Make your art. Let it consume you.
