Marina, I've missed you and your creative input! Glad to see you back!
This is definitely not a time I’m wanting to think about winter. Brrr, it’s a time we have to bundle up and protect ourselves from the cold. Everything it seems is frozen over, most of us just want to cuddle up to the fireplace and drink hot cocoa.
When I was a child, I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the winter’s there can be -40 c! But that never stopped us from donning our skates and skating on a nearby pond near our home. I never was a great skater, my brother on the other hand made it look so easy. Effortlessly he would glide across the ice, like his skates had wings. Perhaps for me it was a balance thing, but I had a difficult time just staying upright! Slipping and sliding every which way, the fear of losing control and falling really frightened me.
Creativity comes from the outward expression of what we are feeling inside. For some, spontaneous emotional expression comes quite naturally to them, they are at ease and in balance with life. For others, they must work hard to stay balanced on the ice. It is through their effort and their intent that creates the flow-free action. With all in balance, we can let go and skate expressively and freely.
When we moved to Montreal and then years later, Toronto, the winter’s were/are not as cold and there is/was a much greater risk of skating on thin or breaking ice. Carefree children would not know or even think of the potential dangers. The older ones who did were daredevils; this was to them a challenge, an opportunity to put fate in their hands. Some made it, some pushed it to the extreme and the ice swayed, losing its stability and the skater their balance.
