The Creators

I throw my lot in with the 'creators,' those who are willing to spend their time and energy making things: paintings, music, movies, plays, novels, sculptures, etc. This activity, in itself, is hopeful; there is something to do, something to say, and there is someone to see, hear, and respond to it. This working in the world of imagination is not an evasion of the world, it is a plunging into the world. Whatever meaning and purpose we seek in the world, must be created by us.
