Went to see a friend at the soon-to-be-defunct Merce Cunningham dance studio and saw this up on the wall. Not sure what association John Cage had with him (I’m sure I could Google but does anybody know?), but this is some great advice for creative people. 

“Find a place you trust, then try trusting it for a while.”

“Do not try to create and analyze at the same time. They are different processes.” 

Was just cleaning up my mac and reminiscing over old videos and pictures and stuff (maybe some soon to come here) and I came across this old textedit file from October ‘11 called “stuff to do creatively.” A bunch of it still applies and sparks somes ideas….. maybe I’ll get around to some of this stuff. Probably not though. Still, it’s good to have notes like this. I wonder what other people on here who write songs or write anything or do anything use to make notes like this or remind themselves of creative ideas they had that they can’t execute immediately………..?
