This was lovely. I agree in every way. As Andrew Peterson says, "Art nourishes community, and community nourishes art." I especially loved this line from your piece:
"In the transitory and lonely city of London, it is as true as ever that to shape culture is to commit to relationship." What a revolutionary thought. Commitment as culture-shaping. Thanks for this offering!
So much truth to this. I would never have written much of anything without my first intimate group of fellow scribblers to inspire me and cheer me on. I continue to seek out these unique conclaves of creatives where spirit touches spirit in a unique way.
Thank you! This sheds light on why my partnership with my printmaking partner means so much- and why I can’t be happy in my neighborhood book club. I’m taking my copy of “Essays…” down from the shelf…
Thank you Sam for this moving sharing. How the beauty of creation is linked with love deep down in our hearts — the experience so contiguous to my own. I’m realising how important is that cultivating you are writing about with your grandpa — such a blessing! This piece turns me into pondering about our gifts — how essential they are for composing the Kingdom we are approaching. Thanks!

Another beautiful and resonating essay. I was moved. Thank you!

I needed this, and didn’t know it. Gorgeous read, so life-giving. ♥️
So enjoyed. Thank you.
Such a true an evocative article. We need other creatives to find our own soul and to share the love. Than k you for your insightful words.
