Madeleine L'Engle: "In order to allow ourselves to be creative, we have to relinquish control and overcome fear. Why? Because real creativity is life-altering. It threatens the status quo; it makes us see things differently. It brings about change, and we are terrified of change.... we live in a wild universe -- a universe in which the truth is frightening. My son died last December. He was only forty-seven years old. That's scary, and its lousy, but it's true. Creativity comes from accepting that you're not safe, from being absolutely aware, and from letting go of control. It's a matter of seeing everything -- even when you want to shut your eyes."
