And in a way it's an act of creation when we're in community, very similar to the Creator "calling things that are not as though they were." Goethe hit it on the head when he wrote, "Treat people as though they are what they should be and you help them become what they are capable of being." He may not have had this particular discussion in mind, but I think it applies. To think that we play a large role in the formation of the lives of those near to us is an incredible (and fear inspiring) notion. You’re right, Erin.

It made me think not only about my own creative identity, but about the opportunities I have to speak into other lives. Thanks, Kevin.

The "superstory" is that we were made for each other. Unfortunately, in the west we don't do community very well so it takes some extra effort both to know and be known. But it's worth it. Thanks for all the great comments. It applies to everything, really, whether someone is an artist or mom (like Arisia pointed out). The “superstory” is that we were made for each other.

I KNOW that I need this from other people. What your blog actually reminded me was that other people need it too, and that hopefully I can be that encouragement to them as well. Some people have encouragement as a spiritual gift and those people are amazing to have around one's self. SO true.
