Finding the magic sparks

So much of our creative effort is dedicated to creating and sharing meaning and I have seen many examples in the posts made by members of this community as they interpret an activity in give it meaning in the context of their own life. This perhaps is the fundamental role of creativity - we use or imaginations, our capabilities and our particular talents to create things which have meaning and value to us and sometimes these meanings and values extend to people we choose to share these things with. Our creativity enables us to capture the timeless wisdom in some of our moments so that others might share our moments and how we felt in those moments.

In a recent post Elisavet Sofia Katsanou recounted how the story of Oscar and the Lady in Pink'' had moved her and it reminded me of a similar story that had a big emotional impact on me. It's called Spoonface Steinberg and its about a young girl who is dying of cancer trying to make sense of the world. It's a beautiful example of creating meaning through a story containing profound truths that can be conveyed across time and cultures.
