Artistic creation can lead to a deeper understanding of God from "summary" of Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle

Madeleine L'Engle beautifully captures the idea that through artistic creation, one can develop a deeper understanding of God. She emphasizes the importance of creativity as a spiritual practice, allowing individuals to connect with something greater than themselves. L'Engle sees art as a way to explore the mysteries of the universe and delve into the divine presence that surrounds us. The act of creating art, whether it be writing, painting, or music, can be a form of prayer. It is a way to communicate with God and express one's innermost thoughts and feelings. Through art, we can access a realm beyond the physical world and tap into the spiritual realm that lies beyond our understanding. L'Engle believes that artists are called to be co-creators with God, participating in the ongoing process of creation that sustains the universe. By engaging in artistic endeavors, individuals can gain insights into the nature of God and the intricate beauty of the world around them. Art has the power to reveal truths that words alone cannot convey, opening up new avenues of spiritual exploration. Through the act of creating art, individuals can experience moments of transcendence that connect them with the divine. These moments of inspiration and insight can lead to a deeper appreciation of the mysteries of existence and a greater sense of awe and wonder. By embracing creativity, individuals can cultivate a deeper relationship with God and gain a deeper understanding of the divine presence that permeates all aspects of life.
