I think that that's why artists make art - it is difficult to put into words unless you are a poet. What it takes is being open to the flow of universal creativity. The Zen artists knew this.

This quote suggests that beauty and creativity come from something greater than our individual selves. Artists often have difficulty finding words to express the ideas and feelings they are trying to communicate through their art. The Zen artists of the past were open to understanding the universal concept of creativity, which is something greater than our individual capabilities. This understanding of creativity allowed them to create pieces of art that could express the beauty and ideas within them.
