creativity

"Simply put, it is as if, when we put ourselves aside, divest ourselves of the weighty burden of our habits, knowledge, and memories, we are free to make all things new--or rather, make a place where all things might be made new and spoken for the first time."

-- Christopher Bamford, from "Negative Capability" in the Summer 2005 issue of PARABOLA http://www.parabola.org
