Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity | Video on TED.com

A very interesting talk from the writer of Eat, Pray, Love. I know artistry doesn't need to lead to anguish, but society certainly does hold on to that impression. I refuse to believe that the best years of our lives are over with once we've done one piece of brilliant work.

In talking about the creative mystery and ancient societies, I'm reminded of God as a Great Creator, and our creativity as a gift back to God. (a la Julia Cameron). I'm also reminded of the Holy Spirit, and am meditating more on how that relationship works in the middle of my work.
