Conjectures of a recovering dilettante - On the need for a creative environment

 
I wonder how many of us feel we are creative?  And if we do, how many of us feel we have no legitimate outlet for our creativity? 

If there is no way for your creativity to flow in your present environment, then change it.  This is not only wise, it is a moral imperative.  

To become the person you are, not just who you were meant to be, but the person you are – you must plant your creative seed in fertile ground. 

Do not take this warning lightly.  Your life may depend on it. 

Brother Giovanni.
