Imagination and Creativity



"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.  Knowledge
is limited.  Imagination encircles the world."
Albert Einstein


Creativity comes in various colors, styles, and abilities.  Our own imagination develops into an art that often times goes unnoticed.  People can have a colorful streak while other creativity is more subtle.  We often take our own strength in stride, falsely assuming anyone can do what we do.

We do not give enough credit to the artistic expression of a person who specializes in landscaping or floral design.  The ability to create mouth watering appetizers is just as relevant as the woodsman who chooses wood for a specialized project.  Science and technology requires a sense of design as much as a musician or poet

My creativity shows in how I set a festive table with linens, silverware, and china.  My imagination is woven through my words as well as knitting or quilting.  The importance is to explore and learn how to express differing parts of the self.  Do we minimize our strengths, hide them or disregard them?  Is it flowing within an inner landscape or does it flow out into the world?  Think about it.
