Jeff Leisawitz, “How Creativity Heals Us and Why It’s a Gift to the World”, Tiny Buddha. https://tinybuddha.com/blog/how-creativity-heals-us-and-why-its-a-gift-to-the-world/, accessed 4 January 2021.
Being expressed, healed, and seen is actually a service to humanity. A gift to the world.
When we are expressed, we become who we truly are.
