Wisdom, and Lots of Silence

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

–Rita Mae Brown

These days I’m filling life with a lot more silence than is usual for me. Just a single thought or insight seems food enough for a day in the studio. And each morning begins by breaking everything apart and starting new (“If you want to have clean ideas, change them as often as you change your shirts.” See posting on Picabia below.)

This morning I love this quote. Creativity. Trust. Instincts. Hope. Work. Big ideas, each.

  1. I love this quote. I really need it right now. I think I’m a snake shedding a skin, so thanks for that.

  2. Elatia Harris says:

    If you never hoped more than you worked, you would never get yourself to work.

  3. trust is not the only one but an important one…

  4. Sometimes hoping is just wishful thinking, being in love with the idea of the artist’s life, rather than with the actual living. I know I’ve been wrapped up in that.
