The Great Creator lives within each of us. All of us contain a divine, expressive spark,
a creative candle intended to light our path and that of others. We are shiny, not
tarnished; large, not small; beautiful, not damaged– although we may be ignorant of
our grace, power, and dignity. The human being, by definition, is a creative being.
Practicing our creativity is healing. The more we ground it and regularly access it, the
better off we are. The "healthier" we are. Creative change begins in the heart. When
we start within ourselves and move outward, expressing what we love and what we
value, life gets better, we feel better, and the world gets healthier too.
