"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 home. Make friends with freedom and uncertainty. Look forward to dreams. Cry during movies. Swing as high as you can on a swing set by moonlight. Cultivate moods. Refuse to be responsible. Do it for love. Take lots of naps. Give money away, do it now, the money will follow. Laugh a lot. Celebrate every gorgeous moment. Take moonbaths. Have wild images, transfomative 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. Build a fort with blankets. You are innocent. Get wet. Hug trees. Write love letters." - Sark, How to be an artist
