I write creative ideas for kids...which doesn't make me a real writer but I have some creativity going on. I think my creativity comes almost at the cost of forgoing 'down to earthness', being really practical, being good at noticing details, and existing in the now and really 'present' - which is fine...I like the fairies I am away with. A creative mind can observe a little and then extrapolate expansively and fluidly - detaching from what's right in front of it - that's the whole point. The buck never stops with just the reality! However, I would guess there is a more immediate, less cloud cuckoo land creativity also...... painting, taking photos, sculpting....art that needs people to be really 'there' That's quite enough....time to land and have a cup of tea x
