RE: love will stay near me [original poem]
Beautifully said! I tell you between everyone in our family, we have a robust creative portfolio. Story writing, poetry, composing, singing, instrument playing, beer and coffee brewing, digital arts, painting...wow, I wonder what from the past ties all that together.
It's true. I think everyone has something creative inside them, but not everyone finds out what it is before they die. Our family got luck on that front.
THat's true. I believe since God is unarguably creative, we bear the mark of our creator and find a deep pleasure in creating. When I think about Mom growing up, I remember her with her past desire to design dresses and sketch, and then of course her writing. BUt in general, it didn't seem like we saw either of our parents creating all that much in the course of our childhood. I just wonder how it became such a focus for all of us, and not so buried as it is with some families.
That is a very good point. Nobody really went out of their way to make our childhood a 'creative' environment; we certainly didn't have all the toys and activities and learning games and groups that today's kids have at school and that most parents try to give to their kids. Hard to say where it came from, or what the source behind it really is.
