excuses

the excuses keep piling up

I’m not ready.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

People won’t understand.

I haven’t got the time this requires.

I haven’t got the go-ahead.

It’s raining (well, it might be sunny now, but it will rain).

We’re frightened, and that’s okay. We’re all frightened.

Creativity, enjoyment, and generosity lie on the far side of our excuses.

When we see our excuses as the things we have to overcome – because the love for our art is greater than our fears – we can move forward.
