All quotes from
Nina's book
We often try to push reality aside, thinking that whatever is
occurring in our lives at the moment should be different from what is actually
happening. In this work, what is arising
moment to moment is the source of our movement, sound, images, and speech, is
the source of our material. Push nothing
aside.
When we are true to ourselves, each of us becomes a light for
another to follow.
When we become quiet enough, the universe displays a panaoply of
wonders that until then have been masterfully camouflaged as the most mundane
of events.
Surrender to doing what we actually feel like doing.
Remember: resistance is part of the game and never completely
disappears.
The
inner self is not at all interested in the level of our talent, but only
concerned that we engage and express.
Peace is not a steady state, but must be created over and over
again.
Prayer is a sacred technology for awakening to Presence, to the
radiance of our innate state of freedom.
Prayer is a sacred technology for dispelling delusions that cloud our
hearts and minds so that we can reside in openheartedness, trust, and caring.
The path to what is holy is an unfolding and fluid process, created,
discovered, invested and revealed, moment by moment by moment.
Surrender. Let go of
believing that you are in charge of the way your life goes.
Like life, art making is not a static event occurring in safe space,
but a dynamic unfolding of new possibilities.
When you fail in your efforts, congratulate yourself for you courage
and vitality.
Commit
to what you are doing with the gift of energy.
You don’t have to believe in what you are doing, you simply have to do
it.
