… watching for the brushstrokes of God
“In order to be effective messengers of hope, we must begin by trusting our inner voice, an inner intuition that speaks into the vast wastelands of our time. …part of experiencing the presence of God in our lives is appreciating the importance of our creative intuition and trusting that the Spirit is already at work there, often working in between established zones of culture.” ~ Makoto Fujimura, Art + Faith
Where do you draw upon your creative intuition?
“The process of art-making or prayer becomes a journey of discovery, where we open ourselves to what is being revealed moment by moment, rather than what we hope or expect to see.” ~ Christine Valters Paintner
What is your journey of discovery?
Creativity is a mix of making something happen and letting something happen. One is still, the other active, one is waiting and listening, the other probing and moving.
How does your creativity emerge in that tension?
“I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.” ― Mary Oliver
Oh, how we miss singing together. What kind of kindness and mischief do these times require of us?
