Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.

When writing becomes too dominant, it gets leached of its own power. We spend more and more time writing and we have less and less to write about.

By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.

Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.

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

Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.

You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
