What does “create” mean?

To live, live fully, live what it is meant to be me

My meditation today showed me this:

Sensing all that is around me

I feel the Way, the energy

I am in it, and of course it is in me, and all around me

What can I give to someone who already has it all?

What can I give to the Way when all is encompassed in it?

The image of a small flower came to mind

It is supported by its plant, green leaves, roots, soil, water

When it is time to open, it matters not whether it is seen

It opens, to the fullest extend it is capable of

Living its own life, expressing its own inherent nature, colors, patterns, beauty

Whether it is appreciated by anyone outside of itself matters not to it

It lives its full life, and when it is time to end, it ends

Just as it is

A drop of water in the ocean

What can it contribute to the ocean?

But it flows with the flow in the ocean, maintaining its own elements, but within the vast ocean

Sometimes maybe it will ascent to the sky and take up the flow of the clouds,

Then comes down as water and flows through as a drop in a river or whatever venue it may end up with

It could go through swamps, mud, oil,

Temporarily it may appear to have changed its appearance

But deep down, its composition elements stay the same

Its nature remains the same

When I look deep within myself, the same picture gradually comes to focus

To adapt to the living of this world

I may have added a lot of ingredients along the path of life, and over time I may have confused all those ingredients with my own nature

My true nature, my true Self

As I age, with more time to be with myself, to contemplate, to look deeply within, and without

I search

I search for that true Self within me

That original element of a water molecule

That original flower supported by the plant

By the sun, the moon, the water, the soil, the air, all that and many more that I cannot count

To be back to my true self

To live, to create

Not for anyone else

But just an expression of life, of what is already within me

To be one of the flowers among the infinite sea of flowers out there

To be one drop of water in the vast water system on this earth

To be the leaves that absorb all the nutrients around itself so that it can live as it is meant to be

That is life

That is the abundance of life, the freedom of life, the fearlessness of life,

Also the natural Self in life, the contentment within my life

Knowing that there is nothing I have to do

I do them because I want to, because that is within my nature

And I explore, I create, I live

Moment by moment

With nature, following the flow of energy within me, my intuition, my instinct, my own inner voice

With all the elements around me, the energy within and without

What comes out from that will be beautiful

Even if no one notices. I notice, and I am content

I live as I am….
