Being creative is not just a part of who I am – it is who I am.
Creativity lives within me: it is my source of thinking and it dictates my way of doing things…differently.
My fondest memory is that of growing up finding ways to amuse myself; fueling my mind to find lateral solutions to resolve my state of boredom. Whether I was pretending to save the life of the hot water bottle (after mom’s strict instructions to empty it) or whether I
imagined the knives and forks to be Knights and Fair Maidens while
doing the dishes. I never had a dull moment; my imagination added
colour to a world others see as dull and drab.
I cannot imagine my life without creativity. How can I when I was
created by the most creative Being of all. God chiseled me out of pure
imagination, knit me together through creativity and moulded my being by divine skill. He is my Divine Source… the Force that drives
me and reminds me that limitations can be broken.
I once read that creativity is the ability to see things beyond what
they seem, enabling us too look beyond the now…beyond the how.
Creativity charges my mind to just do, which allows me to just be.
How can I not be creative?
