A lovely and thought provoking read Deborah - I'm just sorry it took me so long to get to it =)

I think creativity is fuelled by different things for different people but for me calmness and inner peace is a major contributing factor.

As you love the coast, I feel energised by a mountain and river landscape. I am at my happiest next to a stream in a Scotch pine forest - preferably with a dusting of snow. Just thinking of it now and I can feel my inner self smile and relax.

I hope one day to return to my happy place but for now I must be content with finding places of quiet here in Australia (not that easy a task unfortunately).

All that is to say, I totally and one hundred percent agree with you - calmness certainly does 'facilitate creativity' For me anyway =)
