Dictionaries provide useful definitions of creativity. Wiser souls offer their own wonderful interpretations – e.g., Ken Robinson describes creativity as “…the process of having original ideas which have value.” Mulling over how I play with and apply creativity, in my life, I’d like to share my version.
Recently, I’ve been in reflection/musing mode. Mostly through personal and professional guided conversations. Motif’s that have bubbled to the surface are daydreaming (think ‘What if…?’ Or ‘I wonder…?’ type questions). It feels that I have a hardwired curiosity! Looking for connections between things, and desire to see and understand the patterns.

I have an exploratory mindset that fuels my creativity. I want to learn, and I want to discover. I want to make sense of a narrative that is emerging for me at a particular time. There’s sensation of a curiosity hunger! A pull to follow a thread and see what is discovered.
