Making "Something" Into "Everything" with Jon Marro

In today's episode, I talk with Jon Marro, an extremely talented artist, filmmaker, the author of Keepers of Color and Holden Hugs the World, and the resident creative genius for the Cafe Gratitude, Gracias Madre, and Be Love Farm family. Jon and I recorded this episode live, while I was staying on the Be Love Farm, so you will likely hear some farm noises like tractors, cows mooing, dogs barking, people talking, and children laughing.
Topics Covered:
The feeling of being in "alignment" with who you are
Jon's journey as an artist
Giving your entire attention to a task
How integrity is transferred into Jon's art
Relying on external sources for connection to source
Becoming your own "guru"
Disconnecting in order to reconnect
Ideas as entities
Making art in response to darkness
Optimism
Holding space for others
Destruction for destruction's sake
Learning how to rest
