Fabulous speech! Olay!!!!!

[myshadowside]

and maybe we never have to be heard or seen or known as artists, maybe the process that comes through is enough. how many of us will actually ever get the recognition anyway...we keep showing up and that matters

[uch]

all she is saying is that one must relax when they do not get an idea or get one but have no way of experssiing it. Apart from tat eveyrone knows and feels the 'divine inpisration' in their work. What was uniue tha there are people who talk about it and even try to interact with it PHYSCIALLY. All one has to do is learn to relax. Tat is all she really meant

[reddragonready]

How sad. This woman completely bought into a romanticized view of "the artist" and rather than challenge it with the reality of the many great artists who suffered no more and no less than any other profession...opts for the easiest way to deal with it. Another fantasy.

[reddragonready]

@uch Well, looks like some don't agree. ;D

[BlazeGreenwood]

The most implausible, fairy tale, fantasy land description of creative process I've ever heard.. and the best bar none.

Thank you.

Or your genie.. whatever.

[sparrow3210]

I have to agree. The most impossibly wrong, nonsensical description of what the world is, but so wonderfully right.

I have to thank you as well.
