Take risks and embrace vulnerability in your art from "summary" of Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle
To create art is a daring act, a leap into the unknown. It requires us to be open to the unpredictable, to take risks and embrace vulnerability. When we create from a place of safety and certainty, we limit ourselves and our art. True art comes from a place of courage, from being willing to face the uncertainties and imperfections that come with the creative process. Art is not about perfection, but about authenticity. It is about being true to ourselves and our emotions, even when it feels uncomfortable. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable in our art, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and connections. We invite others to see themselves reflected in our work, to feel a sense of empathy and understanding. Taking risks in art means pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones, trying new techniques, exploring new ideas. It means being willing to fail, to make mistakes, and to learn from them. It is through taking risks that we grow as artists and as individuals. It is through embracing vulnerability that we find our true voice, our unique perspective. Art is a journey, a process of discovery and self-expression. It is not about reaching a destination, but about embracing the journey itself. When we take risks and embrace vulnerability in our art, we allow ourselves to be fully present in the moment, to be open to the possibilities that lie before us. We give ourselves permission to be imperfect, to be human. So, let us be brave in our art. Let us take risks and embrace vulnerability. Let us create from a place of courage and authenticity. Let us be willing to face the uncertainties and imperfections that come with the creative process. Let us open ourselves up to new possibilities and connections. Let us grow and evolve as artists and as individuals. Let us walk on water.
