Creative Handprint

On this journey I have learned..
To make skilly and duff
The ancient, symbolic meaning of serpents
How Chinese pirates lived and died during the third and last great period of power, the years from 1780-1810
About Zheng Yi Sao
About homelessness
About choosing
That I can be mopping the floor at work and swabbing the decks on the Calabar Felonway at the same time
Relinquishment, selflessness is the ultimate power
Skinnydipping in the Ocean of Imagination is always refreshing
The two rules to the creative process:
1. Begin
2. Continue
Fear turns one to stone
Laughing through tears makes rainbows
That believing God is exclusively male is a myth I have lived by, one which blinds me to the infinite glory of God.
Creating is a way of praying
Creating makes pain easier to bear
The biographies of goddesses
That when it is dark the stars appear, although they have been there all along
