I was reading "Art in America" today and came across an ad for the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. It read
"Find divine passion at the end of your fingertips."
We are all called to create. God is the ultimate creator and we are all made in his image and likeness, therefore we also have creativity imprinted in our beings. Everyone may manifest that creativity a little bit differently. For example, some may pursue traditional creative pursuits such as painting or music, but others may express their creativity through cooking, knitting, writing, or the way they set up their home. The possibilities are endless, but it is so important that we nurture that part of us. Creation keeps us from being stagnant. It keeps life new and invigorating. It can provide us with a new perspective on the routine tasks we have to do every day.
For some ideas on jumpstarting your creativity, check out the Creativity section on my website.
Someday I would love to start or be part of a program combining art and spirituality, two of my deepest passions in life. I don't know if it will ever happen, but a girl can dream . . .
