Lila (Simplicity Within Complexity)

Lila is the Sanskrit word for God at play (or) love. Creativity within the natural flow of divine play is finding the simplicity within complexity. In art and life the simplicities manifest into the purpose to our being. Volunteering service for others is the only purpose for art. Art or entertainment is not a wasteful undertaking. Bringing laughter, smiles & emotions to people is the divine play of creation: Our Lila.

Try seeing what works within the structure versus seeing why the structure does not work. A shift in perception will open up compositional boundaries that previously were hidden. William Blake said, “Jesus was all virtue, and acted from impulse, not from rules.” Improvisation is the dance of not fearing creative failure.
