Setting skepticism aside, even briefly, can make for very interesting explorations. It is not necessary that we change any of our beliefs. It is necessary that we examine them.

Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing.

Writing responds well to some gentle scheduling. A day job not only promotes solvency, it promotes creativity as well.

Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.

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.

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

No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.
