I believe that the dark night of the soul is a common spiritual experience. I believe, too, that the answer is continued seeking and perseverance. It helps to know that others have endured a loss of faith.

There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.

Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing.

In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.

Making art is a rite of initiation. People change their souls.

Balance is the key to my serenity. I attain balance by listening to my inner wisdom and to the wisdom of others. There is no situation in which I cannot find a point of balance. There is no circumstance in which I cannot find inner harmony. As I ask to be led into equilibrium and clarity, I will find that my answers come to me. I am wiser than I know, more capable of right action and attitudes than I yet believe. In every event, I seek the balance point of God's action through me.

When we let God be God and work through us, we experience both a sense of serenity and excitement.
