When you are not separate from the creative process, time ceases to exist. you might start to feel tired and suddenly realize that much time has passed. it isn't necessarily a happy time - and may be very difficult to start if it is a job or an obligation. but if' you start with all the concrete needs and proceed in a thorough way - the creative process will take over and you will forget whether it is work or play. working in the here and now is one of the most uncontaminated ways to work.

More From Corita Kent

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.
Hurt Children Giving Up
I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.
Tired Men Thinking
I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.
Lonely Pain Rain
You're in orbit over the earth. and suddenly it's very, very quiet. it's dramatic. you realize you're floating in the straps in your chair. and you take off your seat belt and float over to the window and look out, and you realize, "i'm not looking at a picture, here." i couldn't process it all. even if i forget everything else in my life, that will stay with me, burned into my brain until the day i die.
Brain Earth Quiet
You learn so much from making mistakes, not even necessarily mistakes that i've made, a lot of the time the films just don't work out because it's a really difficult process. and sometimes there's a certain person underlining process. but i've had an opportunity to work on all different types of films and i have had a lot of opportunities to stretch myself in different ways and now is the time where i get to try and figure out out the roles that i can really play well and play them well.

Most people are searching for happiness. they're looking for it. they're trying to find it in someone or something outside of themselves. that's a fundamental mistake. happiness is something that you are, and it comes from the way you think.
Happiness Mistake Thinking
Do not tell me that you have got to be rich! we have a false standard of greatness in the united states. we think here that a man must be great, that he must be notorious; that he must be extremely wealthy, or that his name must be upon the putrid lips of rumor. it is all a mistake. it is not necessary to be rich or to be great, or to be powerful, to be happy. the happy man is the successful man. happiness is the legal tender of the soul.joy is wealth.
Powerful Mistake Successful
Make no mistake: the organization of the working class must be both economic and political. the capitalist is organized upon both lines. you must attack him on both.
