Creative Juices

I have learned to say more with less: not that my works are noticeably shorter—though, Lord knows I try! But when creative juices are flowing, my pen lifted by currents, swept away, leaving no rivers their banks unmarked, nor seas their coasts without edit, writing is a trans-formative force…. I think all artistic expression has this in common: a torrent of sky; a funnel of air elevating each new work in defiance of gravity—redefining our long held beliefs of structure and stability; and for a blissful moment seeming to mend that ancient rift between God and His earthen man…. Great art should be like this...unforgettable as one’s first love, or one’s first epiphany of Christ….
