Creative is something you are, not only something you do. It’s a way of moving through the world, every minute, every day. The artist is always on call.
There’s no right or wrong time to do this work. It’s always happening. If we’re committed to the artistic or creative life, there are no “off hours.” You exist in a constant state of receptivity. Even if you’re washing the dishes or going for a walk, you’re still engaged on some level.
This practice is about noticing where your thoughts and attention go when you’re not directly engaged in your craft. It’s about remaining open and receptive to creative inspiration, even when you’re involved in the chores of ordinary life.
