Illusion is the mantle of the Real

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

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

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen

The local painters were my idols...These artists, too, were grown-ups, but they were grown-ups who could still see! Their eye was still in love! Like mine!

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.

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.
