Creativity finds us, because it needs us, we are part of the equation.
It needs us to make manifest what we are given.
Creativity is like a gift and we have to return that gift with our art, in
whatever form we might choose, because without us creativity dies.
It is our destiny and duty to welcome it, to take it in and play with it; to
give it form.
It whispers to us, with prose, poetry, dance, painting, photography; indeed
with all and every form of expression.
It is always out there, as if waiting for our awakening. And when this gift
comes to us, we are fortunate indeed.
Our life then becomes almost overwhelming rich.
