Invite the Magic

On the rough days I try to coax my terrified self to enter the studio, because I never know where the work will take me. Good days have turned sour, and sour days have brightened. I show up and invite the magic, as my pal Craig says. My efforts change me; exhilarate, frighten, exhaust, soften, frustrate, worry, anger, bore, entertain, enlighten or amuse me. I have to put myself on the spot to invite the magic, and return again and again to build this life.
