The seasons are changeable, fitful and sometimes maddening when we are not ready to change with it. But change they do and change we must, to stay in the precious flow of a creative life. As artists we cannot afford to keep dammed-up ideas, sacred images or unshared gifts from flowing gently into expression. Vague dreams and plans come into clarity as we take steps toward them, breaking loose the clogged arteries and cluttered debris of our seasons. The freed channel allows a clean flow when the weeds of self-doubt and the tangled underbrush of our life, relieves the backed up pressure. Creativity is always an intimate dance with change and clarity and the willingness to keep the flow going through the channel.
