Today and every Friday, I invite you to join me in creating a response to the quotes I post, using the arts: visual arts, photography, music or song, dance (video please!) prose or poetry, it’s your choice.
 

“Failure is a greater teacher than success” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Why so afraid to fail?
judgement from others
warnings from within

life is for living,
trying,
experimenting,
falling and getting back up

remain frozen
failing to move
unable to shift
and go nowhere
when somewhere is the desired destination

paralyzed by fear
prospects of failure taunting
crushing motivation

“Try something new.”
the muse whispers
“NO don’t,”
yells the gremlin
“you might fail”
“So what,” replies the muse
“you’ll never know if you don’t try.”

I will be sharing a quote here weekly and inviting a response from others to the quote in the form of visual art, photography, poetry, dance, music, (video)- whatever art form you would like to express through.You will have the opportunity to share directly on ArtTherapist.ca or through a link up to your blog or site if you have an online presence.  You are welcome to share your links to your responses below on your blog or if you wish, join us over at the Virtual Art Circle and share them there.  If you are not already a part of the Virtual Art Circle on Facebook and would like to be, just follow the link and request to join and I will add you.
