You—your inner universe and your outer world—are your greatest creation. Paraphrasing Nehru, your birth – time and place and circumstances—is the hand you are dealt.  How you play that hand is your creation. Create—not merely with paint or marble or steel—create with the star furnace in every quark of every atom of every cell of the gift that is you.  Play with all God’s gifts to you—play with joy, play with love. Abandon yourself to play with God.
