this is not about getting it right, figuring things out, or hitting a bull's-eye. this is not about an obsession with word choice or an exacting eye on grammatical correctness. this is not about pulling out all the stops with tricky literary devices. this is about looking at life one paragraph at time.
"We sit down before [a work of art] in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way." --C.S. Lewis
Just the words I want to keep in front of me. Whether I am creating art of being done to by someone else's creation, surrender seems the best choice. Thanks for sharing this quote.
