When I listen to other artists (as well as the one in my head), I realize that we all have a tendency to expect the opposite: we expect the overwhelming majority of our work to be what soars, when it's always been the other way around.

If we knew that this was absolutely true, and also that it's how an art practice should be, would we enjoy the process more? Would we appreciate the journey in a relaxed and satisfying way? Would our focus possibly shift a bit more toward what WE are becoming instead of what we're producing?
