Luci Shaw is one of my favorite poets and writers. Here are a few lines of hers I would like to share with you.
On cultivating creativity, she says, "Among the things that good literature involves are elements of inevitably
and surprise--essential to all arts. A well-wrought work gives the sense that this is the way it was inevitably meant to be, and part of that certainty comes from the surprises in it, words in unusual juxtaposition, fresh ideas that give us a little jolt of astonishment.
Yet there is another community that informs the creative life: friendship, which is formed with others who share a conviction of faith and a dedication to artistic process."
