Creativity flourishes when we have a sense of safety and self-acceptance.

When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.

I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.

Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.

Pray to catch the bus, then run as fast as you can.

As we lose our vagueness about ourself, our values, our life situation, we become available to the moment. It is there, in the particular, that we contact the creative self. Art lies in the moment of encounter: we meet our truth and we meet ourselves; we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression .

When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
