Lately a line from a song we used to sing in the children's choir when I was small has beeen on my mind:
"He lays to rest our restlessness in Him." I have found it helpful.

I saw an interview on TV last night with Germaine Greer (there's an Australian some of you will know of?) who definitely doesn't approach life from a Christian perspective, but she said something that I found true: "It is our discontent that drives us on".

I think these two ideas are related. Our restless, creative urge provokes us into new and worthwhile challenges in our lives, and if we can find out how to use our creativity in a way that fits in with God's purpose we are doubly blessed and fulfulled.
