Thank you Jan! Your creativity embraces us all in profound echoes of spirit. This is a message to experience, remember and renew...Thank you again for moving me.
I do often feel like my creative time is selfish or greedy even if it is seldom. I think your message is beautiful and each of us should take the time. Even if it is just to appriciate othes creativity. Thank you.
Dearest Jan, I have not forgotten why it's important for me to create. Yet after watching this beautiful gift I am aware of the layers of daily life peeling themselves away, not having realized how insolated I've become. Thank you for this mirror, thank you for showing me my inner self. You are a joy.
Ya, I blubbered all the way through this video; Thank you for the gentle reminder of what being human is all about. If we all focused on our creativity we'd live in peace and harmony....I truly believe that in my heart. LOL Bea
Thanks to U-tube I finally feel connected to those who create art or seek art.
I always feel so guilty doing my art...thank you for the uplifting messages in this video. I need art and I'm tired of apologizing for it! I give and give and give and sometimes I just need a little for me, too.
Thank you! I need this to play automatically in my mind each morning when I wake up. Like when you boot up your PC and it shows the Windows screen or whatever you have, this video be linked directly to my brain to play on my personal boot. I will remember! Thank you!
As one of those who writes in those wee hours and dances through the mundane, the painful, and the beautiful, I'm glad you posted this. Sometimes life does it's best to squash that creativity. It is nice to know others feel that too.
Thank you, this is amazing... I needed to watch this today, it is right where I am at with my journey, having neglected my creative side for so long. I believe so much that we are first and foremost creative beings, but we have largely forgotten that. Blessings and Peace to you.
Very nice and inspiring, but I'm not sure of the underlying assumptions about what art and creative work actually are; is she suggesting that such things as raising a decent human being, or preparing food, are not arts and creative work in and of themselves? If so, I believe her definition is a rather too narrow one and discounts many, many expressions of creative work besides the purely aesthetic.
Thank you so much. This is something to share and remember. I will keep it available in times of inspiration and when I just can't get out of my little self.
my wife was moved to tears and forwarded to me and others. finding the artist inside of us and nourishing it is important, very important. Otherwise we are blinded by the obvious and the shallow, the superficial.
So very beautiful. I am moved to tears.
