We humans are incredibly creative creatures. Perhaps it’s that we are endowed with the faculty of imagination, but I think it’s more than that. We are great at problem solving, inventing new, previously unknown ways of doing things, of overcoming obstacles and of improving our daily lives. All that takes creativity.
But all that restricts creativity to a utilitarian purpose, and creativity is certainly a lot more than that.
Whether in the visual or plastic arts, in music, dance, poetry or storytelling, we seem to have a creative drive to express ourselves, to share our thoughts, ideas and feelings, and to try to find meaning and purpose in life.
In this photo you can see one of the many creative photos exhibited in the forested part of Marqueyssac gardens in France. There were several like this – each one a woodland scene of fairies and elves. I loved it. The art added an extra layer of magic to the woodland walk.
Of course creativity isn’t exclusive to human beings. The universe is creative in an infinite number of ways. I love to see the new growth in the Spring, with new green shoots and glorious blossoms. It feels like being surrounded by creativity.
