playdough for thought

I like to think of creativity as playdough, and our bodies as those plastic playdough accessories, you know, the ones where you squish the playdough through until out oozes pink gooey star/square/sunburst/triangle glory. So we are all filled with creative goop, some is pink and some is yellow and some is green. Plus, when we collaborate, we achieve this beautiful marble colored playdough! And all of our bodies have different fun shaped crevices to squeeze this colorful creativity out of (this is becoming to amazingly suggestive and graphic). We all have different methods of squeezing this creativity out, and different end results. There are writers, musicians, artists, film makers, dog breeders, chefs, drug dealers. You just have to find which hole playdough (creativity) most efficiently exits your plastic accessory (as in body. I'm sorry, I cannot avoid these dirty images), and that is the meaning of life. No, well, maybe not. Everyone creates differently, and has the potential to create beautiful things, sometimes material and sometimes not, but the most beautiful things (aka MARBLE EFFECT) come from working together.
Well, that was fun. I'm surprised I was able to pull meaning out of that one.
