“When television is good, nothing - not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers - nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse.

In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being.” MeanMomentsFeelingsAbleActionTogetherChoicesPassionLossAbilityActingCreativityCreativePossibilityExpressionGoes OnFindingsMessagesUniqueResponseReactionsCarrieSuppressingMilieuAction And Reaction Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
