Spirituality

 For me religion and spirituality often go hand and hand. Some believe that the two terms have opposite roots, opposite meanings. To be a religious person you must also be a spiritual person. Both concepts connect faith and the belief of some higher being, of some divine meaning. I feel religion and spirituality both are focused around faith around believing there is a purpose for life and hoping to fulfill that purpose while eventually transcending to an after life. 

As I said I believe that spirituality and religion can be closely related and with religion come spirituality. I do acknowledge the fact the religion is not the only way to be part of a higher reality which can come solely with spirituality. Spirituality and religion both embrace a sense connection. With religion that connection is often related with worshiping a God (each religions form of God unique) with spirituality can be a strong connection with nature, with oneself. Both religion and spirituality are there to see life as having a greater purpose and thus are inherently the same but can include many personal and individual differences and beliefs. 

Creativity is an inner process which produces unique ideas, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. There are so many forms of creativity and each person is creative in there own way, thus it is nearly impossible to define the term. What often sets a creative person apart is that they have the ability to take those ideas, thoughts, and feeling and create something with them, bring them to reality often creating unique works of art. Those works of art can range from a stunning piece of art work, to a delicate plate of food, to an advance piece of technology, or to a photo sitting on ones camera. 

It is a process in our minds which is rooted from something deeper, how we produce those ideas is the magic to creativity because one will really never know. Creativity is sparked from passion, from drive, from self-determination, or from simply sorting through our thoughts. The source of creativity is unique to each person, what sparks each ones idea is something we find intriguing, fascinating and thus stimulates our minds brings our ideas to reality.
