“Remember to delight yourself first, then others can
be truly delighted."
This was my mantra when I published my first book in
1990, and still holds true. When we focus on the song of our soul and heart,
then others will be touched similarly. Sometimes people wonder or worry whether
people will like or approve of their creative expression. It's none of your
business. It's your business to stay present and focused for the work of your
deepest dreams. It might look crooked or strange, or be very odd-but if it
delights you, then it is yours, and will find its way into other hearts. [SARK]
I have been a little unkind to myself lately. And at the
same time, I have given myself a LOT of room. It’s actually always a little
more this and a little less that, but the important part is my awareness.
If I am unkind toward me, I suspect everyone else feels
similarly. Which is weird BEcause I don’t really reach a lot of other radar…
Anyway, I like what Sark is saying here. BEcause, really,
anything I write or paint or draw or piece together, whatever it is, is
something that makes my crooked little heart sing. Even just one tiny note.
So for Now I will work to deLIGHT myself.
I love you, Currie

It's great for our creative juices to work for our own delight, for even art can become a chore:)
