spirituality and creativity

To me, spirituality is something that is strongly tied into religion. I believe spirituality is getting in touch with this like other side of yourself that is based on faith and your belief in things that seem outside of this world. I think spirituality can mean so many things it is hard for anyone one person to explain, it could be how you may strongly believe in something or it could simply be the way you feel when your outside going for a walk deep in the woods and just enjoying nature. I am sure there are many ways that spirituality may differ from religion but to me, the two go hand in hand, maybe its because I grew up in a very catholic society and environment since I went to a private school too.
Creativity is the ability to do or think of something that is unique and special to you that no one else has done in your way. I think it is something that can not be shared unless that person chooses to do so since it is her or his creativity and it only belongs to them until they do otherwise with it. I believe that creativity stems from your knowledge and experience. I think we draw from our past and through the lessons and things we have learned we come up with our own thoughts and ideas which are our creations based on the things we know and understand. I definitely do not think that creativity can be taught, I feel that it is definitely something that only can be learned through time by the person because someone just teaches you something, then there is nothing really creative about that because it did not come from you, it came from the person that taught you it.
