Courage
“When you are in doubt, be still, and wait; when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists — as it surely will. Then act with courage.” ~ Chief White Eagle, Ponca
Time to be still or act with courage?

Where do you draw upon your creative intuition?
Breathless
There must be always remaining in every life, some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful. ~ Howard Thurman
Where is your space of breathlessness?
