April Showers and CG Jung

Write about April Showers and May Flowers

This past weekend we were treated to some April showers. It rained most of the day but it was the kind of rain that the Earth soaks up quickly. Sunday morning the sun was back and I noticed for the first time this season, that the trees were beginning to turn green. There were lush green buds and all the tulips were starting to open. In another week or two, all the azaleas will blossom and those hot pinks and bright whites will be a pop of color before they fade back to green as summer begins to crank up. There is something I have always loved about Spring, that slow burn awakening of the world.

Prompt:
“But, if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.”
C.G. Jung
What does this quote mean to you and do you agree with Jung that we create ourselves?

I've never been a big Jung follower, so I'm already not connecting with the quote in any significant way. Sometimes the blog prompts are harder to work with but those are the ones that made me work a little harder. Inspiration comes easily, and sometimes you need to create it for yourself. I supposed then I would agree with Jung's words. Admittedly I'm not in a grat frame of mind to write this morning. My head is pounding, I'm self-analyzing myself too much when I know I should be more patient. I'm internalizing stressors and the prompts this morning are not enough of the welcome distraction I needed. There is too much competition in my head to be creating anything of much value. I need to get outside today, give myself a break.
