Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.

Creativity is a fact of your spiritual body

Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)

Try approving of yourself just as you are, and spoiling yourself rotten with small kid's pleasures.

It takes constant vigilance not to slip into negativity or simple apathy. It takes courage to believe over any given period of time that we are getting better and not sliding into decline.

Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.

When you are feeling too dull and too domesticated get on a horse, sit tall in the saddle, and for a moment live in a world that feels like risk and adventure.
