Welcome to Earth.
A letter about the language you speak without words – creation as expression, expression as existence, and sharing as the way you finally arrive.
I was never the one who could say it. In conversations, what I feel comes out two sizes smaller than it is inside – and for a long time I took that as a defect, as being bad at the one channel that counts. This letter begins exactly there, and then removes the assumption underneath it: language was never my form of expression. It doesn't have to be yours either.
The letter says it in one line: your language is creation. The whole arc from taking the world in to giving something back – perception, imagination, vision, making – is one act of speech. "The Creative Process" walks that same arc step by step, from the first spark of inspiration to manifestation. The letter tells you what is at stake on it: giving our inner world expression is why we are here.
If you have ever felt wordless in a world that runs on words, this one is for you. It ends with an arrival.
Dear traveler,
There are so many ways to express yourself. Love, tenderness. Touch. Gestures. Images. Your language is creation. The way you perceive the world, process these impressions, integrate them – draw inspiration from them, spark your imagination, the way visions arise and the process in which these visions become reality – THAT is your way of expressing yourself. Your way of communicating and going into resonance with the world. And the more unrestrained and passionate you are about it, the greater the resonance. Without creating, you are mute. When we are mute, we cannot express ourselves. But giving our inner world expression is why we are here. If we cannot live that in our own way, we are deeply unhappy and desperate. Every person has their own way of expression, and every expression is at the same time creation. And creation whose source is our inner truth. Creation that rises in us naturally and intuitively is pure. Authentic. True. In it we can be ourselves – in our wholeness. We can land. With all our pain. All our sides. Completely accepted. To create is to exist. Expression is being. To communicate is to share. And to share means being a part. A part of this world. And then you have arrived. Welcome to Earth. Finally.
Thank you for being here.
If something in these letters stayed with you, take it along – think about it, write your own answer, or just let it sit.
And if not today, that's okay too. There's no rush.
Until next time,
– Jan
