Creative work, like love, is not an exclusive gift bestowed on only a chosen few.

A few now possess sanctity and moral vision, heroism and wisdom, genius and talent.

But all that is merely activation of the potential dormant within every soul.

A sea of love, an inexhaustible wellspring of creativity, bubbles behind the

consciousness of each one of us…All creative work that is done in its own name and

for its own sake is divine in nature.

Through it, people elevate themselves and fill their own hearts

and the hearts of those around them with God.
