Making art is like jumping from the edge of a cliff

This quote from Meredith Monk on LionsRoar.com reminds me of writing software and designing things:

“I’ve always thought that making art is like jumping from the edge of a cliff. At the beginning of every new work — and every day of work — is the unknown. Being an artist is being unsure, asking questions, stumbling around with only an inkling of what will manifest and tolerating the fear of hanging out in the unknown. When curiosity and interest become more present than discomfort, the mystery becomes enjoyable and its exploration vivid and vibrant.”
