Cultivate a sense of wonder and awe in your creative practice from "summary" of Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle
To create is to reflect the image of God. To create is an act of faith, believing that our work matters. And in this act of creation, we must cultivate a sense of wonder and awe. We must approach our creative practice with humility, acknowledging that we are not the source of our own inspiration. We must open ourselves up to the mystery and beauty of the world around us, allowing ourselves to be moved by the wonder of creation. When we cultivate a sense of wonder and awe in our creative practice, we are able to tap into a deeper source of inspiration. We are able to see beyond the surface of things, to glimpse the truth that lies beneath. We are able to connect with something greater than ourselves, something transcendent and eternal. And in doing so, we are able to create work that is imbued with meaning and significance. Cultivating a sense of wonder and awe in our creative practice requires us to approach our work with openness and receptivity. We must be willing to be surprised, to be challenged, to be moved in unexpected ways. We must be willing to let go of our preconceived ideas and expectations, and to allow ourselves to be led by the creative spirit. We must be willing to surrender control, to trust in the process, and to follow where it leads. When we cultivate a sense of wonder and awe in our creative practice, we are able to create work that is authentic and true. We are able to create work that resonates with others, that speaks to something deep within them. We are able to create work that has the power to transform, to inspire, to uplift. And in doing so, we are able to participate in the ongoing act of creation, to join with God in the work of making all things new.
