Be Creative!

Today began with a Creative Writing Workshop which I enjoyed very much. I believe whenever we share our creativity with one another, we become a better, more able person.

I often think of artists whose paintings have become so precious, they become part of our national heritage. The same with writers who share their creative imagination with the whole of mankind.

When they are dead and buried, their creativity continues to inspire and move people, opening their hearts and minds to a world of art and beauty.

God works in mysterious ways. Whenever we are inspired to be creative, let's gladly do so.

BE CREATIVE!

When we think of being creative, we may assume that we need a special talent; writer / painter / sculptor etc. So, it might surprise us to know that being creative is of a spiritual vein.

The creative person is one who follows their 'passion' and fulfills their dream, whatever it might be. For some this could be found in gardening / knitting / housekeeping. The creative mind sees opportunities everywhere.

For the busy house-person it could display itself in colour-coordination / imagination in relation to child-activities etc. And, special creativity in managing a budget.

For the office-person, creativity would be found in time-management, and time-out in keeping the grey-cells active and alert.

For the spiritual mind, creativity is found in LOVE. This awareness of opportunities to love and foster love in and for others is a passionate and imaginative way of life. The monk in his cell can be more creative than the greatest of artists in the world today.

All of us, no matter what our calling in life, are spiritual beings. We will fulfill ourselves best and reach heights of creativity when we allow ourselves to be guided by LOVE!
