Playing with in Procrastination

When I think of procrastination, I imagine time as a loop and if you push something far enough along that loop, it will come up behind you and start pushing you. And it’s so much easier to have the flow of the universe at your back.

The great poet Rumi said “language is a river, silence is the ocean”

When it comes to external validation.. I think it’s really important. But I would say: choose who you listen to. Listen to great mentors and teachers.... and be alert to the small voice inside you. If you listen to 1000 impulses of people who’s opinions are thrown at you quickly and without intent, it’s easy to be buffeted by the winds of opinion…. If you go that way, you’ll never move.

It is amazing how much you can accomplish if you just ignore things…. Realizing what can be ignored… remove the demands on your brain that don’t really make you do anything other than flurry.

I’m the co-founder and artistic director of Indian Summer Festival, as you know, and in our work now… we do our best to create good creative conditions for the artists we work with and who we amplify.. mostly we create space for procrastination, for good marination… We always have time for an idea that makes things better. Even if it comes at the last minute.
