Let yourself write badly. You can rewrite later. Paint rotten canvases. You can paint over them. Just do ten minutes at the piano. It’s better than none. Think of yourself as a skittish horse. Keep the jumps small. Julia Cameron.
Art teaches us to respect imagination as something far beyond human creation and intention. To live our ordinary life artfully is to have this sensibility about the things of daily life, to live more intuitively, and not be willing to surrender a measure of our rationality and control in return for gifts of soul.
