Creativity
The world is like a huge ongoing sound. Some originally saw this as the voice of god. Physicists consider it to be a field of information. Our ancestors even had no word for creativity. To their thinking it was a form of discovery, and later even seen as the process of divine revelation. Only in a relatively short span of time have we come to see it as a personal ability.
Behind everything you seek to create, there is a process, a way of implementation and agency. You can’t paint without the brushes, but you pay little mind to the brushes while painting. Many attribute this unseen process, this agency, to a god. In my experience, god has a strong resonance in this domain of life, but it’s broader than that.
“It is better to create than to be learned, creating is the true essence of life” Barthold Georg Niebuhr
“Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.” Bo Bennett
