On my best days, I’m selfless enough to get out of the way and allow the universe to work it’s magic.

There were always rumors when I was growing up about how the song Stairway to Heaven was written. Jimmy Page described something moving his pen and words just appearing. This song that changed the world was written by him and Robert Plant with seemingly very little effort.

This phenomenon happens when artists allow creativity to flow through them.

Maybe the best examples of this are child prodigies like Alexandra Nechita. She started being compared to Picasso at the age of 9. When you watch her paint and hear her describe the process it’s the same… It’s almost as if it’s not about her at all but rather her ability to surrender to a greater creative force from within.

Anyone with the mental capacity can learn the technical aspects of art/photography. But there’s much more. The aspect that can only be experienced and not taught in a book. This experience, I suspect, is different but the same for most of the artists, writers that I respect.

- inspiration
- a connection to the subject on a spiritual level
- the willingness to let go of expectations and let the universe work its magic

The last is most important for me. When I breathe and let go, it just seems to flow without effort.
