It is always time to write.

     There is always more to say.  It is not that I must say it, but much more needs to be said.  Ideas must be promoted.  They must be stated and flushed out.  Positive, creative ideas, necessary to further life, vital to making it tolerable, pleasurable.  Ideas about making food taste better are always welcome.  Story ideas must constantly be generated.  What about building ideas?  Political ideas, as contentious as they must necessarily be, must continue to come forth.  There may be room for bad or destructive ideas.
    Good can come from a crucial destruction.  But preservation ideas must be unfolded as well.  Old things and places must be preserved, if they offer the wholesome, positive, and possibly inspire.  Lessons can be learned from storied places where terrible things have happened.  Once again, story is all important.
    Art is very important.  Old art twisted into the new.  Completely new concepts always need trying in the light of day.  New mediums have to be invented.  The young are good about throwing off the old to present their new light.  They must be allowed, encouraged and funded, if necessary.
The wealthy are obliged to encourage with support.  Of course, they will fund what pleases them.  Even the wealthy must be pushed to look with different eyes.  Their purses must be teased open with the forbidden.  Their vaults unlocked for the shocking and awakening.  Some who embrace the boring must find the original, even in the familiar.
Nothing changes much. That is to say, there is nothing new under the sun.  But fresh new attempts must always be made.  Even new sunrise is an opportunity.  The annually different light ray angles bring us previously unseen colors and textures on a daily basis.  Winds coming from different directions bring us familiar sounds, slightly changed.  We must ask why and how.
Questions are key to unlocking our imaginations.  They must be encouraged.  If one is tempted to say, "That must not be questioned!", a why is obligatory.  The most sacred is also profane.  The laws of physics are only laws until it is conceived how they can be broken, hence quantum mechanics.
The brilliant must be funded.  The controllers must be restrained.  The stodgy shaken.  Structure is fine, but that which is unstable can be sustained for a little while, if only to make a point.  There is that which must remain serious, but always be ready to laugh.  Just to see the word "laugh" is to see a word whose spelling no longer makes sense, though correct.
Remember, there are seven billion of us.  Perhaps only one billion have the opportunity, the luxury to create.  Those of us who can, must.  The number of thinkers is much less, I think.  Maybe only one hundred million.  Still, that is many, many thinkers.  Don't think the rest won't get in the way.  They do every day, trying to  survive, trying to thrive.  The mundane must be allowed as well.  The farmers must be encouraged to be themselves, even if they don't want anything to change.
You gotta love those who "sticks in the mud."  They stubbornly cling to their habits and values.  Mistaken, they think their lives can remain the same, always, if they spend  their energy and imagination trying to keep anything the same, though everything changes, usually sooner than later.  Let the conservative believe that they can hold on to what they imagine will never leave them.  They too, think about how to hold on, accidentally coming up with the original and not recognizing it for what it is.
Writers must write.  Painters must paint.  Sculptors must sculpt.  But, just as importantly, painters must write, and sculptors must make music.  We must unbind ourselves.  The ropes of words must be cut, or untied and made into bows.  We must stope commuting and begin to travel.  Turn the televisions off and begin to act.
Someone once created a cinematic metaphor showing how lives are destroyed by the "Nothing", when people stop using their imaginations.  At the time I thought that was the most important thing I could teach my daughter as a child.  I was not so wrong.  Imagination is everything.  It allows us to hear the music, see the colors, and enact the drama.
Continue on with your lives, but write or draw or photograph.  Pull those ideas out of yourself.  They are not waste, but byproducts of love.  If not love, the eggs of what could be.  These are the reasons to continue.
