Thought for the day, Tuesday 22nd October

“If we want to allow creativity its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of its raining down. We can put out our skirts to catch as much as we can carry.”

Clarissa Pinkola Estes, quoted in Christian Mystics by Matthew Fox
