Creativity is a place of transformation. It is where the things of the world are transformed. Raw materials are refined, lead becomes gold. Are you consciously or unconsciously shaping your life right now? Creativity is conscious shaping. 

Creativity is direct experience. When you are involved in a creative process, you are part of the magic. You suddenly know what is needed without knowing how you know it. You put all your trust in the intelligence of the moment. 

You don’t need any special talents or skills. All you need is to feel your own presence as best you can. And at best, perceive a trace of joy or love or gentleness within yourself. A little bit of that is enough to make the air crackle and pick up the trail. 

People who consistently engage in creativity mature in it, and their possibilities grow like the annual rings of a tree. They grow organically in proportion to how deeply they have learned to see and how open they are to the flow of inspiration. Creativity is not something you can create, it is a blessing of aliveness. True creativity is co-creation with that aliveness.
