Etymology of Create:

create (v.)
“to bring into being,” early 15c., from Latin creatus, past participle of creare “to make, bring forth, produce, procreate, beget, cause,” related to Ceres and to crescere “arise, be born, increase, grow,” from PIE root *ker- (2) “to grow.” De Vaan writes that the original meaning of creare “was ‘to make grow’, which can still be found in older texts ….” Related: Created; creating. also from early 15c.

There are tons of creation myths out there.

What links them all is the desire to CREATE something. Or, MAKE something. In many cases, to PRODUCE something that wasn’t there before (“Ex Nihilio”).

If you too are feeling that desire right now, trust in it. It’s primal and has been with us since the beginning of time itself.

And then, take action. Give life to that desire. Don’t let it die inside you.
