Sitting with the Divine's divine

Artists take ordinary material and try to change them into something exquisite.  We are acting in an Image that has been shown us.  Let me give you an example.


A new year has come with a brutal cold, bitter and laying the land still as lead.  Cold is a threat to humans; it has to be confronted, combatted, overcome.  Fire is what we have been given; I sat beside one as I am writing.  What God of Creative Love can conceive and make such art?  Wood becomes fire!  What in wood says, “Change yourself to fire, make of yourself heat and light”?  Fire is God making wood exquisitely divine.
