Friends, I am re-reading essays from TAW here and there. Today I encountered a funny quote from a blog called David At Raptitude. He wrote: "No one is a grownup at everything." I laughed when I saw the truth in his off-hand sentence. We can't demand too much of ourselves. We can't insist that we look like responsible adults to everyone in the world.
What I am also realizing is that on the other hand, I can insist on looking like an adult to my inner artist child. I can be an adult and take care of my inner child. So, while The Artist's Way is aimed at recovering and healing the child within, it is our Inner Parent that does that work.
We can't be grownups at everything, but we can be grownups towards our art.
