Every Authentic Artist Is Engaged In This

This Is Hard For Parents To Say Genuinely.

Good Art Wounds As Well As Delights. It Must, Because Our Defenses Against The Truth Are Wound So Tightly Around Us. But As Art Chips Away At Our Defenses, It Also Opens Us To Healing Potentialities That Transcend Intellectual Games And Ego-preserving Strategies.

We Express Our Being By Creating. Creativity Is A Necessary Sequel To Being.

If We Admit Our Depression Openly And Freely, Those Around Us Get From It An Experience Of Freedom Rather Than The Depression Itself.

The Receptivity Of The Artist Must Never Be Confused With Passivity. Receptivity Is The Artist's Holding Him Or Herself Alive And Open To Hear What Being May Speak.
