found this quote over at barbara's site and wonder what you think?


No writer writes out of his having found the answer to the problem; he writes rather out of his having the problem and wanting a solution. The solution consists not of a resolution. It consists of a deeper and wider dimension of consciousness to which the writer is carried by virtue of his wrestling with the problem. We create out of a problem; the writer and the artist are not presenting answers but creating as an experience of something in themselves trying to work - "to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Rollo May
