"You're taking something which is horrible ... and turning it into
something which is beautiful and life-affirming," Amy Wolfe tells NPR's
Lynn Neary. "That's the way art is."
I think that's a damn good definition of art, don't you?
And I just think it's so incredible that we can take our grief and our pain and all the things we wished hadn't happened and turn them into something. Make them into something more. It's like that story Rumpelstiltskin, and how he spins straw into gold.
We can spin our sorrow into art.
To creating something beautiful out of whatever we have on hand.
