I am compassionate. I allow my heart and imagination to embrace the difficulties and concerns of others. While maintaining my own balance, I find it within myself to extend sympathy, attention, and support. When they are grieved, I listen with openness and gentle strength. I offer loyalty, friendship, and human understanding. Without undermining or enabling, I aid and assist others to find their strength. I allow the healing power of the Universe to flow through me, soothing the hearts and feelings of those I encounter.

It's impossible to get better and look good at the same time.

The Artist's Way is a spiritual journey, a pilrimage home to the self.

We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.

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.

A working artist is a playing artist.

As children we hoard and gloat over words. Words give ownership: we name our world and we claim it...Children trust the power of words.
