Creative expression is a form of prayer from "summary" of Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle
Throughout my journey as a writer and artist, I have come to realize that creative expression is indeed a form of prayer. When I engage in the act of creating something, whether it be a story, a painting, or a piece of music, I am connecting with something greater than myself. I am tapping into a source of inspiration that transcends the limits of my own mind and spirit. In these moments of creativity, I am filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty and complexity of the world around me. I am reminded of the divine spark that resides within each of us, and of the infinite possibilities that exist within the realm of imagination. Through my art, I am able to explore the depths of my soul and to communicate with others in a way that words alone cannot capture. When I sit down to write or paint, I am entering into a kind of sacred space where I am able to commune with the divine. It is a meditative practice, a form of worship that allows me to express my deepest thoughts and emotions in a way that is both personal and universal. In this act of creation, I am able to transcend the boundaries of time and space, and to connect with something eternal and unchanging. In a world that often seems chaotic and uncertain, the act of creating something new is a way of bringing order and meaning to the chaos. It is a way of asserting my presence in the world and of leaving a mark that will outlast my own fleeting existence. Through my art, I am able to speak to future generations and to contribute something of value to the world. In the end, I believe that creativity is a gift that we have been given in order to help us make sense of our lives and to connect with something greater than ourselves. When we engage in acts of creation, we are participating in a form of prayer that allows us to commune with the divine and to share in the eternal beauty of the universe.
