To create in those waters, we must have more than an optimist's escapism. Today, to create is to hope. To create is to live.

The World that Ought to Be is that which is already embedded in our senses. God's hand touches us, even through the cold earth of death and despair.

Love is today mingled with grief. And yet love grows greater. Create in and through that love. Calm the seas of your anxiety and infuse new life deep into the poisoned wells of culture.
