Creativity is not and never has been sensible.
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.
We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.
I honor the wisdom of life. I learn from life in all its forms. The tree teaches me. The sparrow and the wren sing my song. I am open to the lessons Life brings me from the earth. I learn from the wind, from the sun, from the small flowers, and from the stars. I walk without arrogance. I learn from all I encounter. I open my mind and heart to the guidance and love that come to me from the natural world.
We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.
Agendas tend to drain the life out of relationships.
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
Adversity is a misperception as all works toward the good.
We waste a lot of time and a lot of talent trying to write for the common reader, whom we will never meet. Instead we should be writing for our ideal reader.
We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.
It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.
The opposite of Prosperity is not poverty. It is anxiety.
If you think of the universe as a vast electrical sea in which you are immersed and from which you are formed, opening to your creativity changes you from something bobbing in that sea to a more fully functioning, more conscious, more cooperative part of that ecosystem.
Art is born in attention.
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
Apologies are the art of spiritual housekeeping. They help to put and keep our lives in order.
Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.
Creativity is God's will for us and should be practiced like any other spiritual practice -a day at a time.
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
Some people find it easier to picture the stream of inspiration as being like radio waves of all sorts being broadcast at all times. With practice, we learn to hear the desired frequency on request. We tune in to the frequency we want.
Creativity is a spiritual issue.
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
An artist requires the upkeep of creative solitude. An artist requires the healing of time alone. Without this period of recharging, our artist becomes depleted. Until we experience the freedom of solitude, we cannot connect authentically. We may be enmeshed, but we are not encountered. Art lies in the moment of encounter. We meet our truth and we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression.
Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)
