Fiction Writing as Spiritual Expression

How does writing fiction relate to the expression of spiritual understanding, particularly when it requires maintaining words rather than dropping them? Rupert says: ‘It’s not different. It’s just a different medium . . . Remember, when Cézanne was asked why he painted, he said, it’s to give people a taste of nature’s eternity . . . What you experience is the intelligence that appears as, or is expressed as, the object . . . You are trying to do it with words . . . You want your readers to see the way, not what you think, but the way you think. You want to take your reader to the origin of your storytelling, which is the understanding that we share here.’
