1/ Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion.
2/ The pretty, initial position which falls short of completeness is not to be valued – except as a stimulus to change.
3/ DO search. But in order to find other than what is searched for.
4/ Use and respond to the initial fresh qualities but consider them absolutely expendable.
5/ Don’t ‘discover’ a subject – of any kind!
6/ Somehow don’t be bored – but if you must, use it in action. Use its destructive potential.
7/ Mistakes can’t be erased but they move you from your present condition.
8/ Keep thinking about Pollyanna.
9/ Tolerate chaos.
10/ Be careful only in a perverse way!
Richard Diebenkorn, written between 1966 and 1976

In other words, forget any preconceived notions, and always start working from where you are, not where you thought you wanted to be. This may be the ultimate in “fresh” approach. Thanks, Donna! Caught you in this morning’s Weekly Wrap!
