I don't think that creativity is solely the domain of those with free time in their schedules. Creativity is all around us and one shouldn't assume that the working poor have no place for creative endeavors - indeed, I'd argue that throughout history, more creative works have come from the working poor than from the idle rich.

It was a great interview.<br/>One thing struck me and that was that so many people in the world and in our area are working hard at menial and labor intensive jobs for survival of their families and their lives. Many of the things you said do not sound like they would be relevant to them. You and many of your friends and family (myself included) are privileged to be among those who can take the time and energy to look for and participate in creative enterprises as part of their lives on a regular basis. We need to step back a bit and realize just how fortunate we are. <br/><br/>9:45 PM You were very composed and had some great things to say about creativity in everyday life as well as in the arts.
