Spiritual Creativity

So what is "Spiritual Creativity"?

Become inspired by one of Oprah Winfrey's daily inspirations. Ruth Ross said, "There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes. It's what we do with them that's important."

There are only 3 basic colors, out of which you can create a whole spectrum of different shades and hues. With them you can decide what mood you want a room to have, then just by painting the walls you have set the tone. By painting a picture with a subdued color range you reflect a quiet feeling, and you started with only 3 colors.

Numbers are 0 to 9. You can add, subtract, divide, or combine them. You can use them to number your thoughts, balance your checkbook, or add up your grocery bill. The options are infinite.

Musical notes are amazing. From just 7 notes (C,D,E,F,G,A,and B) you can play Beethoven or Billy Joel, John Denver or Dizzy Galespie. You can play in a minor key and make it moody or pensive, or choose a major key and brighten a room full of people.

You choose. You can choose to sit on the couch and watch television or glue some tiles on a board and make a mosaic coffee table.

Choose to go outside and take a box of weeds and turn it into an overflowing aromatic flower box, or, stay inside and turn your dark depressing basement into a bright and sunny get away spot. You can sit down with your favorite instrument and take your mood from sad to happy, or gloomy to thoughtful.

When you aren't sure how to use these few gifts of colors, digits, and notes, a little quiet meditation can inspire that spiritual creativity you are looking for.

So what will you do with the gift of 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes today?
