"Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is characterised by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative." - Excerpt from creativityatwork.com.
Creativity is not stuck in a box of charcoal pencils
or an easel
or acrylic paint
or a crocheted blanket.
It's not merely a poem
or lyrics on a page
or a novel
or a magazine.
It can't be solely rhythmic
or strung on a guitar
or played on a piano
or moved with air like chimes.
Creativity is not just one, but a possibility of many.
It's also a solution to a problem
or an idea turned into a conversation
or a rule that's been challenged
or the thought process leading to a decision.
I am not intrigued by paints, pencils or sewing.
I am drawn to connection.
I am fueled by the desire to love and be loved.
I am driven towards solutions.
I am creative through conversation and relationships.
What is your creativity?
