Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are.

Creativity is God's will for us and should be practiced like any other spiritual practice -a day at a time.

The opposite of Prosperity is not poverty. It is anxiety.

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.

Nothing dies harder than a bad idea. And few ideas are worse than the ones we have about art.

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.

Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
