Thus from a systems perspective creative individuals, work at critical point. Oh, but it doesn't stop there. A created work, whether sonnet, soup, or song, becomes more than the sum of its parts. It provokes ideas in those who experience it. Thought follows energy.
Creative acts perpetuate themselves far beyond the view of the original artist.
Energy follows thought, follows energy ad infinitum. The dilemma is what is the nature of the thought that started this chain reaction must surly color the process. Well, I suggest we create as if we are making a good soup, one we would feed to those we love and eat ourselves. If we perform each creative act with that simple care its effects will join with others and spread no matter how small the effort seems. It changes those it touches.
