To live creatively, we must learn to turn our greatest aversions—our neuroses, complaints, irritations, that restless undercurrent of “againstness”—into something artful, right in the thick of it, at the very moment we most want to react, to reject.
Lean in. Invite it closer. Dare it to reveal itself. Breathe warmth into it. Watch as the solid, frigid mass starts to crack, to melt, to soften under your gaze. Allow Eros to thread through the feeling, turning raw discomfort into an artful form.
Feel the creative force surge, unfreezing what was stiff and brittle, awakening it, making it supple, making it alive.
This is how resistance is converted, how the cold transforms into living, moving warmth.
