Creativity

It’s funny, I thought today’s prompt would be easy. I find myself struggling a bit. This is my heart and passion and what compels me. I don’t think of creativity only in terms of artists, writers, musicians, actors. I think of the folks at NASA who had to come up with a solution that would bring the Apollo 13 astronauts home safely. It’s the scientists who ask questions, hey, what if? finding solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems. It’s the kid who goes to Goodwill and repurposes clothing and makes something brand new and completely unique.

It’s the outcasts and oddballs who look at the world cockeyed and get people to tilt their heads just a bit to see the bigger picture, the clearer picture. It’s the tech guy who can see someone’s eyes glaze over and use a novel analogy in a pinch to teach a complicated process.

Creativity is an engine whose fuel is creativity and whose exhaust is creativity and whose destination is creativity. Bryan described creativity as “the well that never runs dry” because creativity begets more creativity. I’m thankful for that abundance. I’m thankful for creativity.
