Merely looking at the world around us is immensely different from seeing it.

The eye awakened is the eye in love.

Enlightenment is simply sanity~ the sanity in which I see my real situation in the living fabric of all that exists.

When the eye wakes up to see again, it suddenly stops taking anything for granted.

I have learned that what I have not drawn I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is, sheer miracle.

Art is neither a profession nor a hobby. Art is a way of being.

We do a lot of looking: we look through lenses, telescopes, television tubes... Our looking is perfected every day, but we see less and less.
