What to express?

That's a 13 letter title.  It's also something i'm always asking.
'Always', also means, for at least 66 years.  I might, just might, (i never know), write whatever comes up from that. I'm just going to go and sleep on it.
'Synthesis': a word meaning, to include diverse elements blended into a unique wholeness.  Literally, 'syn-thesis', to initiate a process of making diversity the same, synonymous. Being of the essence of creativity, it seems, the question,'what to write', is synonymous with 'what to paint'. So why not write about that?
Since it's something i know a lot about, intimately from long experience. Also since it's something that anyone not having that experience finds a mystery, quite naturally, and it might be helpful to demystify it. It might be mutually therapeutic.
Also, contrary to what people who don't consciously claim to be creative might assume, the process is all-inclusive. That is, not an isolated separative pursuit, but one that includes, and is included in, all that goes on everywhere, and all that is thought and felt about it with regard to the wholeness of experience.
Everything is so interdependent with 'everything else' that everything IS everything else.  That is, 'else' is a word that indicates separation, and there isn't such a thing. Only 'appears' to be. In that sense, 'wisdom' and 'creative art' are not two separate things.  Wisdom principles are inherent in the nature of the art process. And this can be described and demonstrated.
Much of this understanding is currently obscured by commercialization and the notion of separate individuality. To regard wisdom and beauty as a commodity is simply delusion. A tendency to trivialize what is most inherently essential (of the essence) and profound in the nature of human consciousness and experience.  The essence of life as we experience it to be.
We lose the essence by putting quantitative value on qualitative experience. Like trying to patent the sky. Or to define infinity.
When was 'the sky' ever a limit? We are already in the realm of spatial relationship.
Yet, with at least one foot firmly in the timeless continuum, and right on cue, once again, an intended simple email message turns out to be a 'by itself written' prologue or preface for whatever it is i was saying i intended to write. Which i have equally and similarly no idea of what that might be.
'Always keep a don't-know mind.  There are infinite possibilities in that.  In contrast to a mind that has come to a 'conclusion', which is an end.'
So, this can be the first thing to be posted on the next blog, just as it stands.*  I will keep my fingers crossed for whatever comes forth next, (except when typing, as i only use two fingers) and , not that there ever is ,was, or will be, such a thing as 'next'. So this will do for now.
Rainbowmaker.
