Danger: Art on a vehicle

uration of sound or shape which requires attention and development from the artist. In the process of that development, we find meaning we had not suspected; but if we try to begin with the meanings, they will shrink to the scale of what we already understand: whereas the creative activity opens up what we did not understand and perhaps will not fully understand even when the actual work of creation is done.

- Rowan Williams, Anglican bishop, theologian, poet, and former Archbishop of Canterbury

Thanks to my friend Bruce Kirby for passing that along.

It's going in The Looking Closer Book of Wisdom.

If you're interested in hearing more from Williams, read this recent interview with him in Image.
