I'm in week two of the twelve week course of The Artist's Way. One of the assignments this week is to read these "Basic Principles" each morning and evening. We're to look for where we're able to let go of skepticism. I'm grateful for my SGR studies, cuz this stuff is totally in the flow:
1. Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
2. There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life--including ourselves.
3. When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.
4. We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.
5. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.
6. The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.
7. When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.
8. As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
9. It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.
10. Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward divinity.

I'm looking forward to number 8. :-)
I've had kind of a rough day, emotionally. I haven't been sleeping so well. I've folded in and out of some situations that feel confusing or wrong to me and yet, there they are. Relationships. The ego. Fear. Confusion. Judgment. Loneliness.
Today I literally got on my knees and asked the following of the Lord:
Lord, may I look only to you for approval, only to you for love and worth. And may you send me a man to adore and who adores me in the same way and we're free and willing to do so.
And I got this in response:
You only have to ask Me. I'm the One to ask. I love you, child. All is well.
Thank you, Lord. In those moments, it's so clear. When I have the clarity and humility to ask and to know that You are the only real source.
