For me, spirituality is instinctive, and it is not be swayed by the outside. We usually say that a person has a spirit, because we see or feel that people beyond the language and logic, and it is an intuition. I think I can use the word “soul” to sum up the spiritual, because the soul touches you at some point if you see the spirituality from the others. The creative spirituality is king of an ability of a person who sees the world with unique perspective, and I think artist should have creative spirituality. Like the article states “The artist’s three eyes of knowing are inspired by the radiant spiritual beauty of the subject, fascinated by the subject’s harmonic structure, and motivated to express the unique wholeness of the subject by drawing a bounding line around it.” (Grey, 73), artists need to create art works with creative perspective, which comes from their creative spirituality. The article also mentioned “The artist’s spiritual eye recognizes the subject as a special aspect of the absolute.” (Grey, 73), but I don’t think creative spirituality is the quality only owned by artists. Everyone could have creative spirituality, and it depends on how you see the world. For example, I met a little girl few days ago, she looks lazy and stubborn, but I totally changed my mind after reading the sentences she wrote. She wrote that a caterpillar would become to a butterfly, the children more intelligent than her always need reminders. Maybe her thought is not logical and reasonable, but she is seeing and expressing the world with her unique way and I think she has creative spirituality. I think everyone comes with creative spirituality, but social stereotype strangled our creative spirituality along with we grow up. Stay confident and see deep to retain our creative spirituality.
