I think every person carries within her or him, the seed of creativity. Each one of us exists as a walking, breathing, heart-beating icon of sacred artistry. The divine potential that we all have beautifully finds expression in the art we create. To my mind, the process of making art is far more important than the product. When someone paints a painting, writes a poem, or bakes the perfect loaf of bread, he or she fashions something tangible, of course. But also, through the work of being creative, experiences something tangible. The creative journey has inspired the artist even as the artist has created a work of inspiration.
