TED

I mentioned something called TED before.

TED describes itself as follows;

'TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize'.

I first came across TED a few weeks ago when a lecturer used a clip from this site. Because im a neek, i indulged in more, and more. This talk really moved me. The author of 'Eat, Pray, Love' (another book i would like to read and probably wont) Elizabeth Gilbert speaks about the pressure on and suffering of creative people. Its long, but really worth a watch -and its not as pretentious as it sounds, promise.

I love the way the Greeks and Romans regarded creativity as something beyond or outside yourself. That you have a genius as opposed to are a genius.

With this in mind i've had a realisation -i definitely have a genius. I imagine him to be small, Irish-Leprchaun-like with a mischievous smile. He does however speak a different language to me and despite tugging on my leg 24/7 i just don't know how to communicate with him.

Clothes are good, writing this helps, shaking-a-leg definitely works but there is more. What to do?
