Love this! Curious if you've thought about squaring the "strong emotional reaction and opinions" you need to have a creative POV with developing peace & equanimity internally? I've noticed that internal peace comes shedding away layers of preferences but does this process destroy our creativity?
ahh great question! hmm i think you can feel these preferences and acknowledge them without losing peace with accepting the world as it is? like you can choose to want to bring that preference into some sort of manifestation or not and still accept the way things are in absence of that presence?
for me i think im often most at peace when im most intimate and honest with my emotions. my internal conflict comes from some sort of repression of those
this is all just me surmising though would be curious to see a more trained / practiced buddhist / zen take on that
