creative me

I think deep in the heart of everyone is this intense desire to create.  Something.  Anything. Music.  Stories. Food. Art.  I always desire to create something.  But I find that often I have a difficult time settling down long enough to create anything.  My mind wonders and gets distracted.  I'm little a butterfly alighting on one flower only to notice the brightness of another.  I have a difficult time sticking to it. 

Tonight I created an apple pie for the mystery dinner I prepared for some girls at work.  I enjoy baking.  Maybe it's because I'm creating from scratch.  I swear it really is one of the nicest looking apple pies I've ever made.  I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

This idea of creating makes me think of God.  I think we must want to create to feel closer to him.  He is, afterall, the great creator.  He made us beings with this creative spirit inside.  I think he must be pleased when we create beautiful things for others to enjoy.  It makes me want to create more often.
