Thought Provoker

Read this quote, and it really got my thoughts going, from Brian McLaren:

"In the emerging culture it may well be that theologians will leave the library more often and do their research and study among the rest of us. And the best of the emerging theologians will join hands and hearts with poets, musicians, filmmakers, actors, architects, interior designers, landscape designers, dancers, sculptors, painters, novelists and photographers, Web designers--not only to communicate authentic Christian theology for these times, but also to discern it, discover it.

Such a marriage of theologians with artists reflects a shift from left-brain to whole-brain-from reductionist, analytic rationalism to a broader theological holism. The coming theology is one that works in mind and heart, understanding and imagination, proposition and image, clarity and mystery, explanation and narrative, exposition and artistic expression."

Why is it that I read stuff that articulates precisely where I am spiritually, but can't say those same things myself?
