“I’ve been collecting since college, .. When we’re children, we’re taught to draw in the lines, use certain colors.”

Raw, real human conversation can be the most direct path to greater awareness and stronger relationships, even when it’s unrehearsed and clumsy-perhaps especially when it’s unrehearsed and clumsy!

In this art, the talent and the creativity we had as children hasn’t been squashed. The early stuff is still there.

When they feel invisible, it’s easy for them to leave.

Only create associations with positive affinities. Make this a rule of life and you will benefit more than from all the therapy in the world.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.

True alchemy lies in this formula: ‘Your memory and your senses are but the nourishment of your creative impulse’.

It is in fact the height of selfishness to merely consume what others create and to retreat into a shell of limited goals and immediate pleasures.

The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self – our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds.

Whatever the world condemns you for, make it your own. It is yourself.

Your memory and your senses will be nourishment for your creativity.

Most people don’t find their creativity. There are more unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great talent.
