In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
Image
An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.

Money cannot fill an empty soul.
