There is an inherent creative spark at the
core of each and every moment, within every single drop of experience you've
ever had. Creativity is itself inextricably woven into the fabric of the
universe—in fact, one useful definition of "spirituality" might
simply be the ability to recognize and participate with the creative openings
and opportunities of every passing moment. You don't need a paintbrush to be
creative. Your own unique perspective is your brush. You don't need an
instrument to be creative. Your body-mind is your instrument. You don't need a
canvas to be creative. Your friends and family and relationships are your
canvas. You don't need a masterpiece or grand theory to be creative. Your life
is your masterpiece. In other words, you don't need to be an artist to be
creative. You just need to be someone who truly wants to awaken to the sublime
beauty of this and every moment. We are all evolutionary artists, regardless of
our particular skills or talents or styles of self-expression.
Because in the
end, life is not about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.
Ken Wilber
