Once we accept that creativity is a spiritual act, it doesn’t seem like a far jump to expect such synchronicity to be at hand.There is a benevolent Something that is kindly toward ourselves and our art. The Great Creator is an artist and loves other artists.The Divine does play a hand in what it is we are making. We can consciously choose to invite divine participation. We can ask for and receive divine help and guidance.We do not need to feel that our dreams and God’s will for us are at opposite ends of the table. We can consider the possibility that our dreams come from God and that God has a plan for their proper unfolding.When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways—but it will come to us.
