I loved the talk about creativity. It does have a life of its own. Suppressing it can make you sick, but trying to imitate others’ creations (unless you’re doing it for learning) can be a problem. When nurtured, creativity can become a life force, like water for plants, and the most extraordinary thing is that you do not have to do much work for it to emerge. However, you have to surrender to its chaotic energy, and the feeling can be unsettling, especially if you are trying to give structure to your life in a time of distress. But the rewards of witnessing your idea take shape and seeing watercolor paint spread on the paper feel like the shaman’s magic. Her books are helping a lot. They feel like the last puzzle of 20 years of hard work. Thank you, Jon.

Susan, yes! I already purchased the first two books. I found them intense and informative, and most of all, they had lots of aha moments that have clarified and lifted so much burden so far. I already pre-ordered the third book, it will be released in December. I also appreciate the interviews that I have found on YouTube. Thank you!!!
