The Fire That Drives Thoughts

A woman asks about the creative process and recalls Rupert’s earlier remark about thoughts during meditation. Rupert says that thoughts arise from a deep existential longing, a fire that drives them. As this longing subsides, thoughts begin to quieten, and another kind of longing – the overflowing of love – emerges. Love, the very nature of our being, expresses itself in the desire to create, whether through having a child, making a home, cooking, writing or making art.
