Daniel Link Performance in May

Hi Everyone.

First of all I want to thank all of you for such a rewarding experience during our time together in the Artist's Way. And I want to offer my sincere hope and support as each of you go out to create your art and your "new" lives. One of the biggest "ahh ha" moments for me was the realization that we don't have to "believe" in the tools Julia taught us in order for them to work...all we have to do is to use the tools and the results will make believers out of us all!

Case in point...I am performing with Vince Bell at Mike's Music Exchange this May. Vince is truly an inspiring man with the sweetest of sweet hearts, and a world class singer songwriter to boot. He's written songs for Little Feat, Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. I would love to see all of you there!!!!

Peace and love,
Danny

Today's DAILY WORD is very relevant to The Artist's Way:

CREATIVITY

I design my life in cooperation with the Divine.

What do I truly love to do? What makes my spirit soar? Maybe it's dancing, singing or playing the guitar. Perhaps it's drawing, painting or woodworking. Whatever the activity, I set the intention to add it to my daily or weekly routine.

Creative expression lifts my spirit and energizes my life. As I allow my creativity to shine, I have a renewed zest for life. My mind and body are recharged and fully engaged as I tune in to the creative power of Spirit. I let this power radiate through me in new ways.

I enjoy rich and abundant living as I open to the continual flow of divine ideas that spring forth from within me.

He has filled him with divine spirit, with skill, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft.--Exodus 35:31

Blessings,
Brendalyn

Roger and Me

This is a story of divine order. He hired me into Los Alamos, got me into some nuclear  physics experiments, which built my CV somewhat. I got some lab experience, but most of  all some experience in the so-called school of hard knocks (1987-1989). Something personal (or "divine") happened where I chose to have excessive allegiance to him.   I sought his moral approval, and did things that I thought would gain his OK. The entire  experience showed me that meaning and joy in life can never be obtained by trying to  win the approval of another person. Meaning and fulfillment is also not obtained by going in the opposite direction, by me  judging him negatively. Maybe Phase II (2001-2010) of our relationship was characterized  by that, as I found myself working with him again. It did not help him or me in any  worldly sense. It just provided me another necessary lesson. He is with me now every day. You probably assume this is some sort of spiritual metaphor.   But no, we both quit our jobs at Los Alamos and now work at Sandia, Albuquerque. Because of a shortage of office space, we are office mates now (neither one of us has shared an office  with anyone else in years). Phase III, which starts now, is non-judgement. I am not on  this planet to pass judgement on my brother Roger. I do not seek his approval either. In case anyone is wondering how this blog got on AW, you should know that essentially 100% of my morning pages have been about the telling of this story. Coming soon to a theatre near you :) Bill Sailor
