Spirituality and Creativity
Sorry I haven't been HERE, because I've been HERE instead. For the last 5 years, I have been on a conscientious, deliberate mission of spirituality and more simply, marrow-hunting. Over the years of my life, I've found meaning in writing, dance, nature, most recently my child, and most-most recently, photography (while I wait for my body to resume its dance-ready shape).
I have always separated creativity and spirituality (and science which is my work) and have finally realized that the river, the source, God, consciousness, whatever you want to call the animating force that unites all living things, can be fed and can be synonymous with creativity. In the B'hai faith, acts of creation are equated with prayer, as you are accessing the same force of creation hypothesized to animate us.
With that said, I've been doing all of these things while breaking from the spiritual blogging - but you can find the details here: To the Right of My Left Brain
What did you love to do as a child? What do you do that steals your time away, where you get lost in the act and even failures don't dissuade or frustrate you? I highly encourage you to invest in it - buy the equipment or materials, take the class, join the meetup.com group... go further than internet research. Connect to the human side of the thing you love... the marrow's there for sure.
