"The artist is a servant who is willing to be a birthgiver. In a very real sense the artist should be like Mary who, when the angel told her that she was to bear the Messiah, was obedient to the command."
-Madeline L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
Bed to work, work to work
bed to work to studio.
I'm cycling, I'm running
but I'm dreaming still
and now, between bed and work
I'm resting
and filling.
