We know soul is being cared for when our pleasures feel deeper than usual, when we can let go of the need to be free of complexity and confusion, when compassion takes the place of mistrust and fear. – Thomas Moore
Although I couldn’t name it for many years, in painting I encountered the power of the inner critic to control and limit my life. This force that counters the desire to create is within each of us. Generally the critic doesn’t appear in full force until you are in a situation where you have the opportunity to do what you want, something important, and self-chosen, something with risk.
