Silence

The future

September 14, 2023 · All posts on Sep 14

Vulnerability

September 9, 2023 · All posts on Sep 9

Vulnerable is the only way we can feel when we truly share the art we’ve made. When we share it, when we connect, we have shifted the power and made ourselves naked in front of the person we’ve given the gift of our art to. We have no excuses, no manual to point to, no standard operating procedures to protect us. And that is part of our gift.

~ Seth Godin
