What a large capability and flexibility that is to think the electricity of the gods and manner a thing new from pretty much nothing at all:
“A miraculous celebration unfolds when we toss the direct of our personal tale into the transformative flames of creativity. Our hardship is transmuted into a little something golden. With that gold we recover ourselves and redeem the globe. As with any non secular follow, this creative alchemy necessitates a leap of religion. When we demonstrate up to make artwork, we have to have to 1st get still enough to listen to what would like to be expressed via us, and then we will need to stage out of the way and permit it. We have to be eager to abide in a area of not recognizing in advance of we can settle into being aware of. These kinds of a space is sacred. It is liminal, and it is numinous. It is frightening and enlivening. It demands no considerably less than almost everything, and it presents back tenfold”.
