QUOTE The Meaning of the Creative Act by Nicolas Berdyaev
“Creativity is something which proceeds from within, out of immeasurable and inexplicable depths, not from without, not from the world’s necessity. The very desire to make the creative act understandable, to find a basis for it, is failure to comprehend it. To comprehend the creative act means to recognize that it is inexplicable and without foundation.”

“Inexplicable and without foundation” means that we are radically free, having no idea to tell us who-we-are or how-to-be. We are alone with the Alone, responsible on the level of Being. Meaning comes from doing art with our existence, risking even our integrity to interpret Truth with and among others. MORE
