So much of art hinges on our ability to trust intuition, to follow our hunch about what “might” or “could” come next. The difference between a blocked artist and a free one is this precise openness to moment-by-moment invention. Agnes de Mille tells us that an artist must take “leap after leap in the dark.” Picasso tells us that we are all born children, “the trick is remaining one.” How do we remain one? Having the time of our lives is the answer. Being open to the right timing of coincidence is the key.
