Sometimes it seems like we're closer to our manicurists than we are our own souls. We have to find ways to get in touch with that and to listen to it and to hear it.
Tori Amos
Image
There are ways to stimulate being prolific, and part of that is making pilgrimages, and being open to listening, changing up the routine.
