fearless Creating: Eat with two Hands

The "hunger to create" is what drives creativity.  Anxiety over creating, if not addressed, can supresses that hunger, killing it.  Maisel offers several ways to "feed" a hungry mind, a kind of whetting the creative appetite. 

Eat With Two Hands

Do you mean to learn daintily what red can do?  No!  Spread red around with two hands, live with it night and day, paint your ceiling red, paint your body red, see red everywhere, learn its every association, its very meaning.  Dream red.  Be red.  Feed your hungry mind a lava flow of red, a torrential sunset of red, a bloodbath of red.  Learn deeply.

I adore red.  I am excited and intimidated by red.  We grow a tulip called Rococo, the perfect subject for my immersion in red.
