When Elizabeth Gilbert speaks about the genius of creativity and where does it come from&#8230; it directly reminds me of an interview I conducted in 2010 with a true musical genius, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/?s=doug+smith&#038;submit=Search\" title=\"Doug Smith on Hydle.com\">Doug Smith<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy how Elizabeth talks about the source of creativity and her <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ruth_Stone\" title=\"Ruth Stone Wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Ruth Stone<\/a> Example. Doug couldn&#8217;t explain where his creativity came from either&#8230; other than it hitting him with a ton of bricks from somewhere above.  He was simply the messenger to transcribe the grand message and deliver it to our ears through his grand piano.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, Elizabeth brings up a very good point to ponder&#8230;<br \/>\nis creativity directly linked to suffering?<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GilbertLiz?fref=ts\" title=\"Elizabeth Gilbert on Facebook - 80,049\" target=\"_blank\">Elizabeth Gilbert &#8211; Facebook<\/a>] <\u2014 80,049\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ruth_Stone\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Ruth Stone on Wikipedia\">Ruth Stone<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[YouTubeUlar]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[618,24,26,1080,969,3,158,1034,1081,6],"tags":[642,2598,1142,2676,2988,2677,3031],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2oCe7-2a1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8309"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8309"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8311,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8309\/revisions\/8311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
