A Creative Being
A Creative Being
Mary Caroline RichardsWe have to believe that a creative being lives within ourselves whether we like it or not, and that we must get out of its way, for it will give us no peace until we do.

I’m going to have to get this book! I received this quote through an email from Inward/Outward. I also the love email newsletters of the Henri Nouwen Society and the Center for Contemplative Action (Richard Rohr).

This fits very well with the video from the other day about the work of creating and how important it is to create.
I’ll have to visit you more often. Though I read differently and sometimes know it, I do not ever feel creative. I want to be creative but don’t know how. Perhaps my commitment to meditative prayer will bear fruit. . . .
It’s a good book. Lots of great quotes in it!
Debra Ann, your blog always inspires me to create. You have an amazing way of writing about process. Jan, blog has given me much inspiration. I am particularly grateful for you introducing me to Merton and Richard Rohr. Leah, Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog too! It gives creative encouragement to many artists.
