Creativity can replace conformity as the primary mode of social being. . . . We can cling to that which is passing, or has already passed, or we can remain accessible to-even surrender to-the creative process, without insisting that we know in advance the ultimate outcome for us, our institutions, or our planet. To accept this challenge is to cherish freedom, to embrace life, and to find meaning.
Stephen NachmanovitchEvery attempt we make is imperfect; yet each one of those imperfect attempts is an occasion for a delight unlike anything else on earth.
