I watched your interview with Natalie Manuel Lee 3 times because I wanted to make sure I caught as much revelation as I could. I wrote that exact quote down about creativity being an act of worship, and put it on a wall-sized sticky note. Please keep writing because you are equipping us with language to things so many of us are experiencing spiritually!
