A lot of experience and harrowing things has to take place before a person can have the ideas of a writer.....and then the art has to be developed.
But the writer that wrote of the sea - Joseph Conrad, said....."life is short and art is long". Well it also takes a lot of time to have experience and a lot of time to overcome your harrowing things. So I concluded one may have to write their ideas crudely. Then I deduced further the art may have developed in the experience and on the way out from the harrowing things. Because to express yourself crudely is not perfection and will probably only endure accordingly. The imperfection was the lack of experience. Experience strips things, the harrowing times humble you, and you begin to live free. So to write ideas simply is the highest art.
Now the same principles apply to a spiritual life. If you look at the writers of the Bible closely, they sealed their spirituality in their literature.
