It is my experience both as an artist and as a teacher that when we move out on faith into the act of creation, the universe is able to advance. It is a little like opening the gate at the top of a field irrigation system. Once we remove the blocks, the flow moves in.

In dance, in composition, in sculpture, the experience is the same: we are more the conduit than the creator of what we express.

Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.

In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.

Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.

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

Leap, and the net appears.
