museum<\/a>, and several home tours, gardens,\u00a0artistic\u00a0exhibitions, and events.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe ability to create, not out of necessity, (as in a nest, den, or hive) but out of desire, touches on the spiritual side of humanity. It is a portal into the “unreasonable” parts of us\u2013the beautiful mysterious.<\/p>\n
For those of us who are creative or artistic, or even for those who can at least appreciate those ventures, there is something that lures us about creative pursuits. They are life-giving, both in the pursuit of them, and in the joys of the new experiences, and successes. It seems expressions of creativity point off the map to an even more solid Reality that transcends time and space, and\u00a0envelops\u00a0every culture in its realness.<\/p>\n
A completely rational, sensible person would tell you there is no need for art perhaps. That it is a waste of time, effort, or money. Though, in a sense, there really is not enough reason for beauty qua beauty, yet, we see how much so many do care about it, at least in some form. (Film, fine art, sculptor, design, etc.) \u00a0See how much it moves us, and speaks to us, in language of its own, like nothing else can.<\/p>\n
In every way in which we try to be creators we\u00a0participate\u00a0in something spiritual.<\/p>\n
