The moment I stopped demanding The Answer, life resolved The Question. My (he)artwork had been waiting for me in the mountains of Mexico all along, ready to reveal itself when I was ready to see it.

Cry them. There will be naysayers. Ignore them. And there will be signs. Follow them. All of them. Because somewhere in that terrifying darkness, your (he)artwork is searching for you.RKA on The Unlost

Don’t punish ourself for feeling, for fearing, for fretting: it is in these days of darkness that we will learn how to light our own fire. This skill will serve us for the rest of our days together and soon, you will see, we will teach others to do the same.Awesomepreneur
