Take a deep breath. Dramatic entrance; intriguing tools. Unfurl exemplary creative expression. Examine its power. Teach technique. Tell true stories. Engage imagination. Bestow possibilities. Protect incubation and reflection. Respect evidence of flow. Reward striving. Steady each stumble. Encourage, nourish, reinforce. (Learn to whisper, "Yes.") Bestow more possibilities. Return to earth. Clear debris. Step back. Promise more. Tiptoe out.
