GROWING IN THE SILENCE

Creation first happens inside of us, within our hearts and minds. The silence nurtures our imagination, encourages it to spring forth into awareness and then be brought into the light of day for our bold and brave expression. No matter who you are or what your background, there dwells within you a spirit of creativity waiting to be released into an awaiting world. It is your gift alone to share. And it begins when you have the courage to dream and then express that dream.

Just as a bulb planted in the fall grows its roots quietly underground before its first tender green shoots break the earth in spring, our hearts nourish our dreams in the silence, allowing them time to grow strong and sure. Each of us has a special gift planted in our awareness by a loving Mother-Father God, a gift that is ours alone to give. No one else has that gift, that talent. It is ours to nurture, ours to express. No matter what your interests or your passions, there is a space for your beautiful creation in the world. In fact, the world awaits your specific gift to show up and shine its light for all to see.

Each of us is like a single beacon shining forth into the world. Our creativity is our light. When we allow it to shine we feel good about ourselves. We feel fulfilled. We feel gratified as well as grateful. Creativity is a way to connect with one another. When we share our passions and our goodness, we find a common voice … a voice of love and peace that goes beyond differences and misunderstanding ... and celebrates those differences with love and respect. Creativity that begins within the silence brings us together in a world where, too often, we focus more on those things that separate us. Our creativity can bridge that gap.

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
