Not everything is art,
but there is an art to everything.

When you’re building a house of cards,
it’s best to get out of the wind.

Everything I thought I couldn’t do, I disproved by doing anyway.

“Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.” ~ Donald Winnicott

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people that have come alive.” ~Howard Thurman

The advice I gave to my children on their first day back to school: Be present to all those you meet. They were set in your path for a reason. Look them in the eye and love them as they’ve been made. You will change the world by knowing who you share it with.

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” ~ Mary Oliver

“People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.” ~Emerson

“If we do not tend to our own process, our own journey, we risk denying the life forces which led to our incarnation and losing our sense of meaning. As long as we are on the high seas of the soul anyway, why not be as conscious and as courageous as possible?” ~ James Hollis

“Sometimes, emptiness is not vacancy, but rather a long gestation. Gestation by ego’s measure is most often too long. But, by soul’s measure, the length of the waiting and making within, before what is being created shows on the outside, is ever just right.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés
