Sanity and/vs. Creativity

This is a discussion prompt! Please write word-floods in response. I'm working on something and need everyone's thoughts about some of these ideas....

Insanity in sane people. Does stress, sleeplessness, too much caffeine or simply being human ever make you feel crazy? (When you literally doubt your sanity.) If or when you reach that very delicate line between sanity and insanity, what does it feel like? What questions do you ask yourself? What thoughts or actions seem insane to you? What in particular makes you reach this threshold? Have you ever crossed it? If you did, what was that like?

The creative process and sanity/insanity. Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love mentioned that working in creative professions, or simply being creative, makes other people nervous about our mental health in a way that working in other professions doesn't. Successful writers and artists do have higher rates of suicide and depression or mental disturbances than the average accountant -- is this the cost of creativity, the cause of creativity, or mere coincidence? If it is the cost of creativity, what is about creative endeavors that strains the sanity of the creator? Is it the pressure to be original? The fear of running out of inspiration? Bitchy muses?

eat beets eat local

In celebration of spring, let's start a multiLocal food project. The first Clemson Farmer's Market of the season is tomorrow and I'll be there, HUNGRY. When and where are your markets? What's selling? and Who's growing it? Create a mini project on your local market and post them throughout the month (or in Dylan and Maddy's case of Siberia, whenever ya'll start grow good stuff). Bio pic a farmer. Brand a local product. Map the activity around the food. etc...

Solutions are about a transference, a change of energy. The solutions to current 'food' problems, of our relationship to the land, are not within this circle/cycle but in all the related (presently devalued) ones.

Face[book] map

We know we're connected. It's so very Collective of us. What's been fascinating me lately is that at any given moment, a screenshot of our Facebooks illustrates this. Our digital identity is literally comprised of each other, proving that we exist as a network rather than as insular selves.

Facebook screenshots taken 11.11.09-12:14am. The strongest connections in this one are Temples' photographs and Casey's B-day. This is just a rough-run. More Facebook immediacy to come [as a series], as well as a cleaned-up system.

Your face[book] will be mapped! Stay organic, folks.
