Madi’s Reviews > The Creative Act: A Way of Being > Status Update

It helps to realize that it’s better to follow the universe than those around you.

The person who makes something today
isn’t the same person
who returns to the work tomorrow.

There’s a reason we are drawn
to gazing at the ocean.
It is said the ocean provides
a closer reflection of who
we are than any mirror.

We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
The real work of the artist
is a way of being in the world.

Look for what you notice
but no one else sees.

The energy around you can be harnessed to elevate your work. You are part of something much larger than can be explained—a world of immense possibilities.
Harnessing this energy can be marvelously useful in your creative pursuits. The principle operates on faith. Believing and behaving as if it’s true. No proof is needed.

Attuned choice by attuned choice, your entire life is a form of self-expression. You exist as a creative being in a creative universe. A singular work of art.
