It emphasizes that the impulse of all love is to create, citing Ella Wheeler Wilcox's notion that divine love birthed the solar system. The session introduces the idea of stepping outside oneself, allowing a greater force to overcome suffering and transcend limiting realities, as poetically described by Steve Taylor. Creative spiritual practices are defined as being spacious, receptive, and playful, encouraging an approach that is restful, open to sacred inspiration, and engages imagination and curiosity. The document provides an extensive list of examples of creative spiritual practices, ranging from outdoor activities like fishing and hiking to artistic pursuits such as painting, music creation, and journaling. It also includes activities like baking, gardening, building, and playing with children, highlighting that problem-solving with a playful spirit can also be a creative spiritual practice. The core message is that engagement in these activities fosters a connection to the divine and promotes spiritual growth through active, imaginative participation.","| WNMC Spiritual Practices – Session 4\u003Cbr>with Miriam Frey and Ralph Brubacher April 2020\u003Cbr>The impulse of all love is to create.\u003Cbr>God was so full of love, in [that] embrace [God] clasped the empty nothingness of space and lo!
