the universe's habit of turning nothing into everything, then daring you to add more

means The act of bringing something into existence, or the thing so brought into being — from the cosmos itself down to a doodle on a napkin.

from From Latin 'creatio,' the noun of 'creare' meaning 'to make, bring forth, produce' — a verb tied to 'crescere,' 'to grow' (the same root that swells into 'crescent' and 'increase'). It reached English through Old French 'creacion,' long carrying a theological weight: 'the Creation' as the world's first morning. Only later did it loosen up enough to cover paintings, recipes, and inventions.
