“Creativity is the belief that something is worth doing.” What a struggle that concept is right now. It feels as though so much has been stripped away – so much is broken.

At the Guggenheim in 2015, I recall seeing an exhibit of On Kawara’s work. Burned in my memory is part of his seminal series “I got up.” Between 1968 and 1979, Kawara sent two postcards each day with the phrase “I GOT UP AT” followed by the precise time of day he got out of bed. It was worth doing. I am so grateful.

Christopher Nupen said, “We take chances when we exchange words with other human beings.”

I’m beginning to take chances again. I’m assessing what I believe is worth doing. I’m getting up.
