It is no surprise that children are so inventive and creative.  It is also no surprise that we are drawn to people who are full of ideas and possibilities.  It is the essence of who we are at our core.  We were created, we are creative.  This is not a one-size-fits-all life experience.  If we choose to participate in the flow of life then we are called to be creative, to go with the ebb and flow.  Did you ever notice the power that comes from witnessing someone’s creativity?  A beautiful piece of art or architecture, watching someone dance or sing or a film.  Heck I feel the power of creativity when I am in a meeting and people are brainstorming–just throwing ideas out there to be sorted later.  Life can be very prescriptive and formulaic and we can cling to the things that we “know” are going to happen.  The irony of course is that there is so much we don’t know, so why not be creative about it.  Our minds are magical and imaginary and inventive.  When I think of some of the ridiculous meanings that my mind makes out of a simple situation, I cannot deny its creativity. The key is to channel it in a productive and positive way.  The only way I know how to do that is to be plugged into God.  Otherwise the movies of my mind would more often than not be horror stories. I have never been a big horror flick fan and I don’t discount it, they just have no place roaming in my mind rent free.  I need to turn my creative ideas and hold them up to the light.  Who better to measure my creative ideas than the Ultimate Creator.  I believe the reason are so free with their creativity is because of their proximity towards God.  Quite simply, they have spent less time being worn and tattered by the “real” world.  I can look to them as an example of how free God wants us to be.  I remember as a kid in the shopping mall just braking into dance when I saw the different kinds of floors that I could dance.  I didn’t care in the least who was watching.  What happened to that?  Honestly, it doesn’t matter because energy is neither created nor destroyed–nothing happened to it.  I just buried it somewhere, it is still within me.  I challenge you today to connect to your creativity (God) and do one thing that makes you smile.  If all we have is today, why not have at least one moment when we are in touch with our own essence.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
