“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
Such an inspiration.
Beautiful brave message; the song carries me right off.
Thank you from grateful friend.

So grateful for you, my dear old friend.
Great encouraging post, Kate. Indebted to you for the quote as well. Didn't know it before you shared it a while back. And the song? Gorgeous!
Going to go try something new this afternoon ...
Thank you, dear Beth.
