For connection to happen, she says, excruciating vulnerability, belief in worthiness, and the courage to be imperfect, are necessities.
She just defined life as a professional artist.
Artists understand vulnerability, and resilience. They embrace imperfection. To evolve, stumbling can be necessary. Now- a -days that evolution can be witnessed on a global scale. Talk about being vulnerable.
Vulnerability can unite us during difficult times or struggle. We are not alone. Resilience builds from struggle.
An artist is a lifetime student. A passionate quest to constantly learn.
“When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.” Margaret Wheatley
