Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.

Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.

Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.

All of us are far richer than we imagine. None of us possesses a life devoid of magic.

An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.

Creativity is our true nature; blocks are an unnatural thwarting of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.

While there is no quick fix for instant, pain-free creativity, creative recovery (or discovery) is a teachable, trackable spiritual process. Each of us is complex and highly individual, yet there are common recognizable denominators to the creative recovery process.
