"All art is cosmos; cosmos found within chaos."
I've been reading through Walking On Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L'Engle for the past week or so. Normally I'm a very fast reader, and I can read quickly without sacrificing comprehension most of the time. But I'm reading this one slowly, taking time to digest it fully.
If you're an artist, creative person, or a Christian, this is a book that you should read. If you're not, it is still highly recommended. L'Engle encourages the reader to seek truth anywhere and everywhere it can be found and claim it as our own, and explains why story is the primary medium through which truth can be spread. She offers profound insight on why we are driven to create and what the meaning of creation is, and how it can help us make sense of things in a world that nearly never makes sense. A highly valuable read, and I'm only on Chapter 5.
