We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.

It is the inner commitment to be true to ourselves and follow our dreams that triggers the support of the universe.

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

All too often too often we try to push, pull, outline and control our ideas instead of letting them grow organically. The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.

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.

Art is born in attention.

Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.
