What is spiritual experience? A snowflake melting, a bee sucking honey, a fat man at a traffic light. Trivia.

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

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

You are not copying nature, but responding to nature in full awareness, to the way nature expresses itself in that object.

In the history of everyone in whom the artist-within has survived conditioning, schooling, training - there are (persons) influences that have kept him alive, awake .. who have encouraged him without even trying - just by being. They have been One's real teachers.

The eye awakened is the eye in love.

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!
