The deeper you can go into this by trusting yourself in this process, the stronger and stronger the work becomes.

What is emerging is work that's more and more like you, the more you can embrace yourself.

More and more and more. All parts of yourself.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Art to Life podcast.

Sitting here in Pescadero, Mexico, one of my favorite places on the planet.

It's a beautiful, warm, tropical today and amazing bird song.

And there was an incredible rain pour last night and that's not something that happens in the desert so often. And it's the first time I've been here when it's rain. So it was really kind of exciting. It's full moon and gorgeous.

I woke up this morning and I often listen to all your questions and comments that I get from the little yellow tab on the podcast section of the website.

It's on the right hand side. It says ask me a question or leave a comment.

And what's so interesting is I'm in conversation, really, with people responding to vlogs, with people emailing me, with people

responding to this podcast. And there's trends and there are situations that things that are

happening and it changes for everybody. And you wouldn't know this unless you were me and you got to listen to all these different questions

coming from all over the world. And so there's a kind of theme to what I'm hearing right now.

And it's up for me in my life and in my art. So I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say

what that is. And then I'm going to answer some of these questions, but I'm answering it in the theme.

It's the question underneath the questions that I'm looking at, that I start noticing patterns.

And I think this is an important one for the present, for right now, because I think maybe if you're feeling some of these things, it will place it and you won't feel as alone.

Welcome to Art to Light, a podcast for the Creatively Curious.

My name is Nicholas Wilton, and each week I'll help you rediscover not just the art of your life, but the art in your life.

Join me as we explore that perfect blue at twilight, the wild frontiers of art making, and the extraordinary joy of finding your ways you go.

What I'm seeing is that this is a time right now of emergence and of things that are coming for you, things that you want to have occur in your art,

a kind of restlessness with the way things were or are, and wanting to change it, but not feeling entirely comfortable with understanding or seeing where you're going to be.
