Maggie's Story
I got married and my husband and I had no religion between us. Our 4th child was a little girl who was killed in an automobile accident, and that was a very, you know, life changing experience. And the ways that we talked and thought about things just kind of began to change. God language crept into our talking a little bit.
When she died, I had just a very, very strong sense of connection with her. In my heart of hearts I might have felt I thought that I would meet her after death. You don't ever get over it. I mean I've certainly lived beyond it.
My husband died about 11 years ago. My daughter's death, you know, brought me in some way closer to God. I think my husband's death had the opposite affect. Now I couldn't tell you why that is. I don't know.
Maggie on Creativity
I have a very strong urge to make things. I don't think of it really as creativity. I think of it as making stuff. I don't think of it as too different, whether you're making babies or making bread which I do every week or making dances.
But the urge, the desire to make it, to make it better to make it right, understand how it works, to just make something beautiful. To make it and keep struggling with it. To shape it, to form it. To me that's just a very, very strong urge even though it changes form. |
