Attuned choice by attuned choice, your entire life is a form of self-expression. You exist as a creative being in a creative universe. A singular work of art.”
~ Rick Rubin, The Creative Act
“To live as an artist is a way of being in the world. A way of perceiving. A practice of paying attention. Refining our sensitivity to tune in to the more subtle notes. Looking for what draws us in and what pushes us away. Noticing what feeling tones arise and where they lead.
“Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
~ Jon Krakauer, into the wild

“Love is often painted in grand gestures and perfect moments, but in reality, it exists in quiet ways through kindness, resilience, love, and how you care for yourself and others.”🦋🩵

“Many people who become excellent in one area can’t translate it into others because they didn’t learn with universal principles. They didn’t study their art with an awareness of interconnectedness.”🕸️

“The tunnel from the pre-conscious to the post-conscious performer is a passage where, during that passage, most people are locked up.
I relate to it as an integration of one’s mortality, of the existential absurdity into one’s consciousness, and then a discovery of a deeper sense of liberation, of freedom.
