Mardi Gras & Creativity

I once had a soul mate from whom I learned the essence of life—celebration. This invigorated soul revered life and took every opportunity to celebrate all its aspects—both pleasant and unpleasant. I learned that celebration—another form of creativity—has its place in happiness as well as in sorrow.

Mardi Gras and similar celebrations have for centuries preceded a time of contrition. Both are part of life’s cycle—as are a time to be born and a time to die.

My advice is to celebrate today via your preference of sensual delights. Today’s designated as a day of indulgence. Don’t worry; its balancing offset will certainly arrive soon enough. Embrace both!

Happy Mardi Gras!
