We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests. And that's where I put myself: as a storyteller. Not necessarily a high priestess, but certainly the storyteller. And I would love to be the storyteller of the tribe.
Perhaps storytellers don't need to care as much about the future as executives and investors do. After all, isn't it possible that technology will enable storytellers to connect directly to their audience without the need for anyone to share the programming decisions or the profit in between? Don't bet on it.
Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth.
Priests are very interested in theater in New York! It's this lovely reminder that priests are just people, too, who need to be entertained.
The question is, whether, like the Divine Child in the Temple, we are turning knowledge into wisdom, and whether, understanding more of the mysteries of life, we are feeling more of its sacred law; and whether, having left behind the priests and the scribes and the doctors and the fathers, we are about our Father's business, and becoming wise to God.
It was stone carvers in ancient Rome, scribes in the Middle Ages, all the way through Gutenberg to the present day. That's a pretty long track record. More likely we may reach a point where each one of us is a typographer with our own custom proprietary typeface.
Science needs the intuition and metaphorical power of the arts, and the arts need the fresh blood of science ... Interpretation is the logical channel of consilient explanation between science and the arts. The arts ... also nourish our craving for the mystical.
Cookery is naturally the most ancient of the arts, as of all arts it is the most important.
I'm a person of the arts. I love the arts very, very, very much. And ah, I'm a musician, I'm a director, I'm a writer, I'm a composer, I'm a producer, and I love the medium. I love film very, very much. I think it's the most expressive of all of the art mediums.
The priests of one religion never credit the miracles of another religion. Is this because priests instinctively know priests?
We need modern ideas, but we also need ancient wisdom. If we deny ancient wisdom we are making a big mistake.
Popular poets are the parish priests of the Muse, retailing her ancient divinations to a long since converted public.
I'm actually quite critical of the storytelling theme. I think all the storytellers are not storytellers.
I think, in the West, we often discount the arts as nice but not that important. Certainly in America when we cut funding for schools, the arts are the first programs to go. But the arts built the things we need more than anything else: collaboration and co-operation and creativity.
I make that distinction only because I came to it strictly as someone who was just a lover of storytellers and cinematic storytellers.
In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.
