Der Schöpferische Funke / The Creative Spark:
Die Kunst besteht darin, immer wieder zum reinen Schaffen hinzufinden, d.h. beim Schaffen den Eindrücken der Außenwelt nicht gar zu verhaftet zu bleiben, sondern an den Ideen selber zu schöpfen.
Zurückfinden zu Gott (oder zur Sache selbst), in unterschiedlichen Lebenslagen und unter unterschiedlichen Lebensbedingungen, sozusagen.
To behold the creative spark in its pure form, the spark from which so much beauty emerges and is born.
It is precisely that which animates the human being, that which can truly fill him with spirit and life.
Through, with, and by means of this creative spark, we perceive not only beauty and beautiful things, but also Beauty itself—the pure Idea.
The art lies in continually finding one's way back to pure creation; that is, in not becoming overly attached to the impressions of the external world while creating, but instead drawing directly from the ideas themselves.
To find one's way back to the thing itself, under different circumstances and conditions of life, so to speak.
