Fertile creativity is a creative product or process that has the ability to propagate further creativity into perpetuity… that is to say – creativity that spawns creativity.
I came upon this concept in Eugene Peterson’s book, “Working the Angles” in which he states…
The variants of error are finite. The “deadly sins” can be numbered; it is vitue that exhibits the endless fertility of creation.
The idea that sin is finite… Sin cannot lead to life, it can only lead to death and destruction.
wrath begets murder,
greed begets taking,
sloth begets nothing,
pride begets stumbling,
lust begets wanting,
envy begets resenting,
gluttony begets devouring.
But, what about virtue?
Temperance begets enjoyment,
Prudence begets wisdom,
Fortitude begets courage,
Justice begets equity.
Faith begets conviction,
Hope begets expectation,
Love begets love in return.
My hope is that in your creative endeavors, you have goal of fertile creativity – that your creation contains a virtuous element, which will propagate your legacy as one of hope, love, and strong conviction.
