I am what I am again: a writer. I have metabolized the injury into 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.

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

Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.

Serious art is born from serious play.

Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.

Artists are visionaries. We routinely practice a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance - often visible to us, but invisible to those around us.
