Sermonette Commandment IV

Commandment IV: Honor the mothers and fathers of thine art.

The river of art flows by us. We dive in, enticed by its waters, its pull. We can swim and play as we like, but we make headway because of its current.

We must honor those artists who have influenced us, our mothers and fathers. Naming them, yes. But also in the way their struggles, their integrity, their commitment to art are alive in us.
