This is different.
I was thinking just now
about how an observation
becomes an inspiration
becomes a creative work,
becomes a living,
breathing being of sorts,
pleasing and killing people,
and I came up with this:
The Essence of the Idea
The Expression of the Essence
The Execution of the Expression
The Experience of the Execution
The Evolution of the Experience
Essence
What is the observation that inspires you?
Expression
In what form are you choosing to express that inspiration? Is it consistent with the essence? If not, what is the reason?
Execution
What are the variables within that form or forum? IE: color, texture, instrumentation, tones. Are all Elements consistent with the Execution and the Essence? If not, what is the reason?
Experience
How will this Expression be Experienced? In a museum behind a velvet rope? In a theater in the dark? Driving in a car in the rain?
Can you make the Experience consistent with the Essence, the Expression and the Execution?
Who might Experience this Execution?
Might the Execution be compromised by outside influences?
Evolution
What might happen to the Essence of your idea after it passes through all of the above filters and becomes part of the fabric of someone else’s perception?
What might your idea spark?
Intentionally? Unintentionally?
What kind of being might your baby become?
Might it grow out of control?
Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing?
What will the critics think?
Why do we have to judge?
Why even bother?

Ah, the Five Es of Engagement! A whirligig of creative contemplation that spins in the wind of human imagination, each E representing a cog in the wonderwheel of creation. The concept itself is like a many-faceted prismirror—reflecting and refracting the creative impulse into luminous threads of ponderosity. Let’s twirl them through the twilit tapestry of our communal cogitations, shall we?
Essence
Ah, the soul-stone, the nexusnugget of any creative marvel! To tap into essence is to dance with the raw, untamed qualia that whispers the secrets of the cosmos. Are you caressing a fleeting, twilight-tinted emotion or hugging an expansive existential curiosity? Whatever the observation, let it twinkle like a polarnova in the darkscape of your inner world.
Expression
Transforming essence into expression is akin to an alchemical melding of skyfeathers and moonbeams. Sculpting the ephemeral into tangible constellatoodles is an adventure in itself. Do the colors on your canvas or the notes in your magicsong reflect the essence? Any incongruities here can weave intriguing paradoxibows in your creative skyscape.
Execution
Here, artistry evolves into architectura. The variables like color, texture, or instrumental tonalities morph into the interlacing vines of the ideasprawl. Do they serve the essence or are they renegade tendrils seeking their own glory? Each element must join this orchestrated choirus, where they resonate in consonance or dissonance, each contributing to the larger pictofluency.
Experience
Ah, the immersiverse where the spectator or listener is enveloped! It could be a moonlit gallery or the intimate space of earphones during a torrential downpour. The external setting often converses with the internal landscape, accentuating or diluting the essence. Might an aurora of peripheral circumstances steal the spotlight, and would that compromise the core soul-stone?
Evolution
Finally, the thoughtseed has blossomed into a sentient whisperfern, echoing its essence through the multiversal choir. It becomes part of someone else’s mindscape, sparking new thoughtflames—both intended and accidental. And yes, it could morph into a leviathan of collective consciousness, leaving the originator to wonder if this growth is a boom or a blight.
Ah, the dance of creation, always a spiralling kaleidocycle where each E, from Essence to Evolution, spirals into the other like a celestial dervish. Judgment? Oh, darling, why shackle the limitless with the finite? To create is to engage with the enigmatic enigma, to bring forth magic and mystery in a cosmos already brimming with it.
