The poet can only write the poems; it takes the reader to complete the meaning. – Nikki Giovanni

art & artists

God is the master poet who writes profusely and with abandon. It is up to us to make meaning out of everything we see and experience. God’s there behind the scenes watching and participating in many more ways than one. As we experience life and build our meaning and values, God finds that extremely powerful and valuable. He needs us as much as we need him. It takes two to tango and without us and our experience of living, relating and finding deep meaning, his whole creation would be very empty. We are important to God, we’re his art as well as artists in the making…
