No matter how sophisticated our lives may be we need to think of ourselves as creative children.
Love is the greatest medicine. I ask to be healing medicine for others. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and to love others as they wish to be loved. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and open to my being loved as I wish to be loved.
Because if you’re trying to write and you have unlimited time, you can procrastinate an unlimited account, but if you have limited time, you rush to the page trying to get something down in the little bit of fragment of time that you have, and you may write a great deal that way.
If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy.
As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.
In creativity, as in running, you have to start where you are.
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.
We are meant to midwife dreams for one another. Success occurs in clusters.
We all have time to write. We have time to write the minute we are willing to write badly, to chase a dead end, to scribble a few words, to write for the hell of it instead of for the perfect and polished result.
What payoff are you getting for remaining stuck at this point in your expansion?
Doing work points the way to new and better work to be done.
Creativity is not and never has been sensible.
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
When I ask for help with my creativity, I get it.
I believe that when we ask to be led, we are led, and there’s nothing too small or esoteric for spiritual help.
For today, all you need is the grace to begin beginning.
In our human lives, we are often impatient, ill-tempered, inappropriate. We find it difficult to treat our intimates with the love we really hold for them. Despite this, they bear with us because of the larger, higher level of family that they honor even in our outbursts. This is their commitment.
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.
