'Recipe for Creativity'

First, remove clutter:

noise, people, pressure, blinking gadgets.

Toss in nature:

sun, plants, flowers, ocean, sky.

Measure your magic:

a simple cup of joy

and what you’re good at.

Steep with meditation.

Torch your resistance—

show up every day.

Garnish with bravery.

Allow for failure

and unexpected alchemy.

Marinate

for a lifetime

and eat endlessly of the pleasures

of making.
