·       Spirit of the air, spirit of the earth, spirit of the water, spirit of the fire  Heart of the sky, heart of the earth, my own heart  I bow down and kiss the earth  I am here  I am now  Thank you for my existence

• ·       “If you bring forth what is within you it will save you. Yes. But this saving is not just for you. It is for the common good. If you bring forth what is within you, it will save the world. It will rescue the times. It will save the whole people. Likewise: If you do not bring forth what is within you it will destroy you. But not just you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, it will destroy the whole people.” ~ Stephen Cope

  ·       “Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not. It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, ‘I’m not good at being a monk.’ You are either living as a monk or you’re not. We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
  The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.”

  ·       “Good habits create good art. The way we do anything is the way we do everything. Treat each choice you make, each action you take, each word you speak with skillful care. The goal is to live your life in the service of art.”

  ·       “All that matters is that you are making something you love, to the best of your ability, here and now.”

  ·       “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” ~ Alan Watts

  ·       Work is the curse of the drinking classes. - Oscar Wilde

  ·       Don't let anyone dull your light. — Brooke

  “If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. From the Father above I bring to this world the water of life. He who believes me shall be filled with the spirit which this water represents, for even the Scriptures have said, ‘Out of him shall flow rivers of living waters.’” – Jesus
