Many thanks Daniel, you’ve made better sense of what I was trying to say. I love the idea of originality as always connecting us back.

I enjoyed reading your article – in particular your thoughts on the meaning of originality, which I agree seems to be confused with novelty by many (most?) of the cultural arbiters our times. You mention the importance of experience and tradition. Perhaps this can be pursued further by looking more closely at the actual meaning of the word original. Something is original if it refers to, or carries the spirit of, the Origin. Our Origin is certainly boundlessly creative and surges forward manifesting new forms, however, perhaps the most important quality of originality is that it looks backward in acknowledging this one boundless Source from which beauty pours. Originality then is a recognition and affirmation of what precedes us, what gives us form and manifests us. Its gaze is backwards rather than forwards, and the merely novel is of no value if it does not bring us to remembrance of that Source or carry its spirit.
