Humans are driven to create,to mirror the creator in thought,
word, and touch. We imitate reality, imitate
creation, imitate the creator·
first in our thoughts, then in the various forms by
which we make our thoughts and imaginings
concrete. We paint and write and
build, not only for utilitarian purposes
but because we have to express creativity,
because that is what humans·
as opposed to other animals·
do From the first instances of painting in Paleolithic
caves, we have been driven to do what
only we do; we have been driven by an
overwhelming need to make creation
conscious of itself. And our creations are
modeled on the creator's plan or on the
assumption that the creator had a plan.
