Interview with a Rosebush: Lessons in Creativity

ByMarnie Kuhns September 25, 2023September 25, 2023

I’ve been feeling God telling me to do interviews. At first, I assumed he meant people, and then yesterday He said, “go interview that rosebush about creativity.”

What? Interview a rosebush? How do I interview a rosebush about creativity?

Who am I to argue with the Lord? I walked over to the rosebush and struck up a conversation. As I did, I realized the rosebush had a lot to teach me about loss, grief, devastation, and not letting them get in the way of your creativity. In fact, there is a role that letting go plays in the creative process.

The following video shares the insights I gleaned from the rosebush.

What did the rosebush teach you in this video? Please share in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!

If you enjoyed this interview with the rosebush, you’ll also like my interview with Goldenrod.

Rest is something you must earn…
