The importance of novelty in evolution

[Sacred Fool]

Well, there's novelty in the sense of sensual toys, bling, and there's novelty in the sense of innovative designs, new ways to balance old themes (right use of power or surrender to Divinity, etc.), new ways to accept the unacceptable. One can be as trivial or as deeply connected to self, to the planet and to spirit as one desires. Novelty of itself seems less important to me than the vibrancy of love and skill which go into creating and appreciating it as one stretches out towards the Creator.
