"As creators, healers and journalists it is our duty to curate reality and communicate it in our own, unique words. We don’t want the shortcut, we want to walk on water and walk on burning ashes. Give us the whole package, even if it takes longer and it demands more. If we’re going to jump anyway off of life’s inevitable cliffs, we might as well pick the highest one and use our own heart as the only parachute... ...We long and steer toward the light but we don’t hide or get rid of the darkness. It’s only by accepting, integrating and finally reusing every bit of ourselves that we’re able to meet and face life for what it is, in all its brightness and all the shadows it casts. Fear is biodegradable fuel. We’ll never get rid of it, but we can recycle it into a more human-friendly version... ...There is no time for apathy or mindless distraction. We’re natural, organic, living tissue. We are the skin of a broken world and as living metaphors, we must reflect it in both its greatness and its desperation. There’s so much good to do, much to be mended and healed. One lifetime isn’t enough, but less than our everything is too little... -creative manifesto
