I'm also immeasurably inspired by Madeline. I only recently found out she passed away, and It makes one of my life-long goals improbable now. I thought she would be fascinating to meet. Now I'll just have to seek her out in the next world.
"Of course. It's all been said better before. If I thought I had to say it better than anyone else, I'd never start. Better or worse is immaterial. The thing is that it has to be said; by me; ontologically*. We each have to say it, to say it in our own way. Not of our own will, but as it comes through us. Good or bad, great or little: that isn't what human creation is about. It is that we have to try; to put it down in pigment, or words, or musical notations, or we die."
-Madeline L'Engle 1918-2007
This will keep me going. I will continue my musings....
*Ontology-from Greek, to be. It is the philosophical study of the nature of being, existence or reality. Traditionally listed as a part of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics. -Wikipedia
