The author of Original Blessing explores how the highest communion with the Divine can be found right at our fingertips in the simplest expressions of human creativity. Drawn from a sermon that has electrified listeners, here is a concise, powerful meditation on the nature of creativity from Episcopal priest and radical theologian Matthew Fox. Creativity is Fox at his most dynamic: It is immensely practical and leaves the reader with a message to put into action in life. Fox tantalizingly suggests that the most prayerful, most spiritually powerful act a person can undertake is to create, at his or her own level, with a consciousness of the place from which that gift arises.
If you are an artist or studying any aspect of creativity... this book is a must have. I took it with me on a trip to Bali and brought the highlighter on the plane to select good sections. Practically half the book was highlighted as there were so many juicy well put quotes about the power of creativity. There is certainly a spiritual standpoint at the foundation (he is a previous priest after all) but it is well rounded in it's perspectives and very passionate. If anything, I would almost say overstated. Great Read for Creativity Lovers!
