Patrick,

The hardest part about creativity is trust.  Trying to recover that is a process – sometimes joyful, often frustrating.  Your intuition has been buried in years of being an “adult”, pushed down, ignored, belittled, ridiculed (sometimes by others, more likely by yourself).  But through everything you’ve experienced, your creativity has maintained its own voice and if you could just manage to be quiet – to stop talking, calculating, planning, procrastinating, deflecting, whatever it is you do to satisfy yourself that you are actually in control – if you could just shut the hell up for one minute and be still – if you could just listen – maybe you would hear something interesting.

Later – Yourself
