Imagine a world with no art

No sculpture

A world with no music

No novels

No stories

No poetry

No drama, no films, no photography

No interior design

No decoration of any kind, basic clothes, no jewellery, no make up…

No beauty for beauty’s sake

Creativity

It starts in the soul.

It is rooted in Eternity.

It grows life and beauty out of barrenness. It creates something from nothing. It nourishes the world, and gives life to things beyond itself. It springs from the depths of our thought and dreams.

It makes our lives beautiful.

(I read about a medieval painting in which the soul was depicted as a newborn child held in the arms of God, and I love that way of showing the preciousness of the soul)
