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

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.

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!

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

The eye awakened is the eye in love.

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

I know artists whose medium is life itself, and who express the inexpressible without brush, pencil, chisel or guitar. They neither paint nor dance. Their medium is Being. Whatever their hand touches has increased life.... They are the artists of being alive.
