The creator may be our father/mother/source but it is
surely not the father/mother/church/teacher/friends here on
earth who have instilled in us their ideas of what is sensible
for us. Creativity is not and never has been sensible. Why
should it be? Why should you be? Do you still think there is
some moral virtue in being martyred? If you want to make
some art, make some art. Just a little art ... two sentences.
One rhyme. A silly kindergarten ditty:
God likes art.
That’s the part
My parents would ignore.
God likes art,
And I make art.
That’s what God likes me for!
Making art begins with making hay while the sun shines.
It begins with getting into the now and enjoying your day. It
begins with giving yourself some small treats and breaks.
“This is extravagant but so is God” is a good attitude to take
when treating your artist to small bribes and beauties.
Remember, you are the cheapskate, not God. As you expect
God to be more generous, God will be able to be more
generous to you.
All substance is energy in motion. It lives and flows.
Money is symbolically a golden, flowing stream of
concretized vital energy.
