Day 152: Creativity Is Your Birthright
The Tenet of Creativity – Expressing the Soul’s Voice
“The creative adult is the child who survived.” — Ursula K. Le Guin
June arrives not with a roar, but with a shimmer. It doesn’t knock on your door; it waits at your window, sunlight pooling on the sill, soft and expectant. The air is thick with the scent of bloom. Branches sway with a kind of knowing. And beneath it all, if you’re quiet enough, you can feel something ancient stirring. Not in the world around you but inside. It is not just nature that begins to stretch toward the light. It’s you.
This is the beginning of The Tenet of Creativity, the next chapter in our shared journey here at Lucivara. Creativity is not a luxury we explore in the margins of life. It is the way we shape meaning. It is the soul’s instinct to speak, to dance, to arrange, to cook, to build, to imagine. To create is to affirm that you exist and that your existence is capable of bringing beauty into the world.
But for many of us, that instinct has grown quiet. The world has a way of silencing it early.
Perhaps someone once laughed at your drawing. Maybe a teacher gave you a C on a poem you loved. Maybe your creative spirit was buried beneath the praise given to those who colored inside the lines, who followed the rules, who made “real” things with measurable outcomes. Maybe you were simply too busy surviving to keep playing.
We grow up. We get practical. We learn to live within the systems we’re given. And slowly, almost invisibly, we begin to believe that creativity is frivolous. Or selfish. Or worse, reserved only for a chosen few. But here’s the truth: creativity is not the domain of the gifted. It is the domain of the alive.
You don’t need to be a painter to live creatively. You don’t need a studio or a fan base. You don’t need to be good. You only need to be willing to listen. Because your soul is always trying to speak. It’s in the way your fingers trace shapes on a foggy mirror. It’s in the melody you hum while doing the dishes. It’s in the moment you choose yellow instead of gray, just because.
We begin this month with a reclamation.
A remembering.
A return.
To what? To yourself. To the part of you that once made things for no reason. That danced alone in your room. That told stories to the sky. That tore scraps of paper and made crowns out of them. That once believed a crayon was enough to change the world.
This part of you didn’t disappear. It simply went underground. Like bulbs beneath winter soil, it waits for the signal that it’s safe to emerge. And June, in all its golden generosity, is that signal.
At Lucivara, we believe in honoring the creative impulse not as a skillset, but as a sacred force; one that animates every act of presence, curiosity, and love. Creativity is the bridge between the invisible and the visible. It’s how longing becomes a song. How confusion becomes a question. How joy becomes movement. How pain becomes poetry.
This month, we’ll explore creativity not as something you do but as something you are.
Each day, we’ll reconnect with the creative spark through gentle reflections, journaling prompts, small acts of expression, and weekly creative invitations. You won’t need fancy supplies or perfect timing. All you’ll need is a willingness to show up. Even when you feel rusty. Even when you feel afraid. Even when you’re not sure where to begin.
Because the beginning is not a place. It’s a choice.
Today, we begin by remembering the most radical truth: You were born to create.
The Soul’s Voice Needs Expression
Creativity is not reserved for artists or musicians or poets. It’s how you stir your coffee with care. How you rewrite a text message for honesty. How you grow basil on your windowsill, even if you’ve killed every plant before.
It is not a special talent; it’s a birthright. It is how your soul introduces itself to the world.
But somewhere along the way, many of us learned to mistrust this voice. We were taught that coloring outside the lines was messy. That doodling was a distraction. That art should be impressive, not expressive. That “real work” had nothing to do with play.
So we stopped making things. Or worse, we only made things if they could earn praise, followers, or income. We believed the lie that creativity was extra. Optional. Indulgent. Unnecessary.
But here’s the truth: Creativity is oxygen for the soul.
What This Month Will Offer
Over the next 30 days, we’ll reclaim the creative spark not by chasing perfection, but by returning to presence, to wonder, to play. Each week focuses on a different facet of creativity:
Week 1: The Inner Spark – Reclaiming your creative identity
Week 2: Creative Flow – Cultivating rituals, practices, and play
Week 3: Art as Expression – Letting the soul speak freely through form
Week 4: Living Creatively – Bringing beauty, curiosity, and spontaneity into everyday life
Closing Days: A Creative Date Ceremony – A ritual to celebrate all that you’ve awakened
You’ll find journaling prompts, daily reflections, science-backed tools, and soul-nourishing challenges. And we’ll keep reminding you that your creativity doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s; it only needs to feel like you.
One Small Step Today
Before the day ends, take a moment to create something; anything without purpose.
Doodle on the edge of your notebook
Rearrange a shelf
Hum a tune you make up on the spot
Write a letter you’ll never send
Paint with your fingers
Cook something weird
Let it be imperfect. Let it be yours. Because creativity isn’t about what you make. It’s about how alive you are while making it.
What did creativity look like for you as a child? What might it look like now, if no one was watching?
We’re so glad you’re here. This month is for you; the one who always suspected there was more beauty left to bring into the world.
Let’s find it together.
