Creativity ~

Helen Prejean, the nun whose experiences with death-row inmates led to the movie 'Dead Man Walking', talked recently about creativity:

"In creating, we imitate God.. . . To be a creator is part of what it means to be a human being. I met a guy on death- row in Arizona who had nothing....So he would unravel his socks and weave little necklaces with crosses out of the threads. The first time I visited another death-row inmate, he gave me a picture frame he'd made out of gum wrapper foils.

"These men were locked in a small cell, 23 out of 24 hours a day; they had absolutely nothing, and still they were reaching out to create something of beauty and worth."
