“The creative process ignites our imagination, and I believe that that same imagination is what will propel us forward with issues of social change. I do think we have to acknowledge that we are a very capitalistic and consumptive nation, and that talk about conservation or issues of sustainability is never going to be popular with the dominant culture because it means checks and balances on an economy that is reserved for the dollar, rather than an economy that honors and respects spiritual resources and the right of all life to participate on the planet, not just our species.” ThinkingBelieveMeanSpiritualCultureI BelieveNationsSocialProcessImaginationEconomyCreativeIssuesEnvironmentPlanetsBalanceHonorResourcesDollarsSpeciesChecksAcknowledgeSustainabilityCreative ProcessDominantConservationSocial ChangeReservedIgniteDominant CultureHonor And Respect Author:Terry Tempest Williams
“Michael Jackson really turns my life and changed my creative process as well. "Keep On Loving You" really honors him and honors my relationship with him so much so that the family, the estate and Sony Music gave me permission to use footage from our time on tour together in my new video. I am just so, so honored that they sought to do that because they didn't have to do that at all. It's a brilliant gesture because they realized how much he meant to me. When you hear the song and watch the video, you'll get that too.” TogetherSongCreativeChangedHonorBrilliantCreative ProcessHonoredLoving You Author:Siedah Garrett
