"This is a call, an invitation, a challenge, and a shove to let your creative gifts come to life and to sustain them," writes Ed Cyzewski. "I don't use the word `gifts' lightly. We have been given creativity for a reason. We nurture it because creativity has been woven into the fabric of our world. Whether you believe that's by divine design or by random chance, the place of creativity in our world is unmistakable."In "Creating Space: The Case for Everyday Creativity," Cyzewski makes his case - and a compelling one - for creativity, that it's not only for kids and a few artistic types. His definition of creativity is broad enough to include cooking, painting, drawing, sculpture, pottery, dancing, writing, sports, knitting/sewing/crocheting, woodworking, gardening and drama, and he says that list is only a small sample.He goes on to explain how to access your creativity, what can choke it off, why creativity is not a self-centered enterprise, and how to avoid "playing it safe." It's a clarion call to "go ye therefore and create."
