Is Creativity Divinely Inspired?

Fresh from TED2009, Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from writers and other creatives - and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
(Recorded February 2009 in Long Beach, California. Duration: 19:29.)

most vagabonds I knowed don't ever want to find the culprit
that remains the object of their long relentless quest
the obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending
the pursuit, you see, but never the arrest
