Day Schildkret

“There’s no way to know anything here in advance. This is purely a process of discovery. Too often we come to a moment of creativity and hesitate because our minds speak louder than our hearts. There’s the figure-it-out mind that wants to know everything before doing it. There’s the judgmental mind that compares itself to others. There’s the disbelieving mind that stops us before we begin, because “I could never.” And there’s the fearful “what if” mind that warns us of the perils of making a mistake. Our minds can become such enormous roadblocks that prevent us from expressing ourselves freely. When blocked, we never get to encounter the effortless grace that is capable of flowing through our expression, an expression that is so desperately needed in this world.”
