Art is one of the few careers without a mandatory retirement age.

So much of an artist's career hinges on the sense that we are going somewhere, that we are not just trapped by the four walls of wherever we are. For creative sanity, I must believe that if I just do the next right thing, a path will unfold for me.

When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. Sometimes the step is very small. Sometimes the step is, "Wait. Not now." Sometimes the step is, "Work on something else for a while." When we are open to Divine Guidance, we will receive it. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways--but it will come.

Workaholism is a block, not a building block.

I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help you with what you are doing.

Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
