In my contemplative prayer group, we're discussing a book called "What God Looks Like In An Expanding Universe" (if I'm remembering correctly). The poem by Terri Maue that started out,
"god is a wild woman with stars in her hair"
set my mind sparking with pictures of what I could do with that, in an illumination, a pen-and-watercolor, mixed media piece of inspiration and enjoyment~ making sure it was something fun to do...
I had fun!~

I'm constantly waving the banner that creativity shouldn't be limited to art forms and crafts and DOing~ it's a state of BEing, a way of life, an expression of positive energy that fans out of you in many ways, many forms~ art forms being just one aspect.
Live your creativity! Let it thrive in any way it urges to be lived!
Know that you can live it and express it in every moment!
An act of kindness, a gesture of highly personal style shining forth, an expression of your innermost being, your essence~~~ all these are creative expressions, and are vital, they give positivity out into the world, and give it back to you.
