As a writer when do you see eternity? In my opinion, every writer sees eternity in his or her creation. As the story unfolds, with its limitless possibilities, we see eternity. There are so many routes that a particular idea could go in the story. Every plot and subplot for a character opens up more and more seemingly endless possibilities.
An artist could say that it is in the creation of a piece of art that he or she sees eternity. It may be in the artistic concept, as they breathe life into the artwork, one sketched line at a time, to one color and one more brush stroke on the paper or canvas. Every line, every color, and every brushstroke is one more step in the evolution of the artwork.
Creative individuals always have to make a number of choices, when they take on an idea. This very idea of “Crossing the Threshold of Eternity”, that I received from my muse could have been an artwork, a story, a poem, or a blog post. I decided that I would write a short post on the subject.
In order to fully understand and appreciate the value of every idea, we need to always explore the limitless ways in which we can craft and eventually create that simple idea. As we develop any creative work, we are slowly and gradually crossing the threshold of eternity. This is only possible when the creator of any work enjoys the freedom of his or her imagination and creativity.
