Just as there is a difference between thinking and doing, there is a difference between creativity and creation. To traverse the chasm that lies between creativity and the act of creating is difficult. The journey is slow and unsure. Creativity is a dichotomy in and of itself. It is grounded to a specific time yet timeless. It is everywhere, yet tied to specific moments. It is so real, yet has no material weight or form. Creativity surrounds us like oxygen surrounds the trees but is also deeply imbedded within us like roots entrenched in the soil. It is quite difficult to pinpoint. It has a million definitions and none at all. It is a transient thought flitting through our mind; it is a concept that has existed for time immemorial.

The act of creation is our meager, mortal attempts to humanize the divine. For my particular situation, I have found that creativity is easy, while creation is hard. But again, this may be my own unique perspective. Just as the process of turning our desires into deeds within our lives is not easy or clear-cut neither is the act of turning a creative thought into a creative work. Although we take different roads, we are all on the same journey. We find the commonalities that help us; the similarities that encourage us. The different facets of humanity that make us think. This blog is an offering of a unique journey in hopes that something will help or affect another.
