How to Be an Artist

stay loose. learn to watch snails.
plant impossible gardens. invite
someone dangerous to tea. make
little signs that say Yes! and post
them all over your house. make friends
with freedom and uncertainty. look
forward to dreams. cry during movies.
swing as high as you can on a
swingset, by moonlight. cultivate
mood. refuse to "be responsible".
do it for love. take lots of naps.
give money away. do it now.
the money will follow. believe in magic.
laugh a lot. celebrate every gorgeous
moment. take moonbaths. have
wild imaginings, transformative
dreams, and perfect calm. draw on the
walls. read everyday. imagine yourself
magic. giggle with children. listen to old
people. open up. dive in. be free.
bless yourself. drive away fear. play
with everything. entertain your inner
child. you are innocent. build a fort
with blankets. get wet. hug trees.
write love letters.
