Have. Creativity.

Save. Mind. Sustain. Soul. Body. Thought. Progress. Creativity. Accept. Human. Harmony. Interrupt. Peace. Enlightenment (Type B). Clear-All. Escape. Answer. Struggle. Lie. Courage. Have. Failure.
Creative expression, in its many forms, creates a conduit into a person's inner most thoughts, their emotions, and soul allowing them to give shape to things that may otherwise be difficult, aid in the creation of new ideas, or allow them to briefly escape our reality.
When creating this week's glyph sequence, I found myself at a conundrum based off the dual glyphs for Creativity and Mind. One of the glyphs for Creativity has a form that derives from the glyph that is commonly used to represent the concept of Mind; the other may also be interpreted as Mind, Thought, and Idea. So the question is which glyph to use for which concept?
Although using the version of Creativity that is derived from the Mind glyph would make sense for the sequence, I decided not to since most agents would be unfamiliar with it. Likewise, I used the glyph commonly associated with the concept of Mind to avoid confusion when an agent tries to the interpret the meaning of the sequence.
What makes this sequence particularly interesting is that depending on how one interprets the glyphs, one can come to an interesting conclusion: The human spirit (soul) and the mind itself requires thoughts, ideas, and creativity to survive. This is interesting because studies have been conducted revolving around possibility that art therapy and creative endeavors could lessen the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s and could help slow the deteriorative progress of those diseases. It makes me wonder how things would have turned out if my father’s widow gave him a box of paint, crayons, or markers and a sketchbook or easel during the final years of his life rather than having him sit at home and watch tv as he was losing his ability to communicate…

Notes: There are twenty-two glyphs on this week’s list rather than ten or the twenty I mentioned previously that I would start using. This was intentional. I will also be using faction glyphs for the daily sequences, but I will try remain faction agnostic for the septicyle’s main sequence. I’m hoping that using the faction glyphs and selecting from an expanded list will give me enough wiggle room so I can create longer and more interesting glyph sequences as the weeks progresses.
Although I am keeping an ink-based analog record of the weekly sequences, for the sake of consistency, when possible, I will post the image I created digitally in photoshop. The “field-like” cloud background will be based on local conditions at the time of my posting, so there is a chance that it would be green, a “teal” color, blue or black/white.
Hopefully, I will find some means to streamline the process of creating these glyph sequences; even if it requires my having to create an online tool or an app…
