I love SARK... Don't know if you've heard of her or not. She is an artist and an author. An encourager ... I have several of her books. Many may find them "hokey" (I surely would have years ago)... But now I find a sense of calm and encouragement as I read her stuff.
Here is a taste:
HOW TO BE AN ARTIST
stay loose. learn to watch snails. plant impossible gardens. invite someone dangerous to tea. make little signs that say yes! and post them all over your house. make friends with freedom & uncertainty. look forward to dreams. cry during movies. swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight. cultivate moods. refuse to 'be responsible.' do it for love. take lots of naps. give money away. do it now. the money will follow. believe in magic. laugh a lot. celebrate every gorgeous moment. take moonbaths. have wild imaginings, transformative dreams, and perfect calm. draw on the walls. read everyday. imagine yourself magic. giggle with children. listen to old people. drive away fear. play with everything. entertain your inner child. you are innocent. build a fort with blankets. get wet. hug trees. write love letters...
Can you take any truths away from this? I know I can....
Back to studying :)
