In this twentieth century, to stop rushing around, to sit quietly on the grass, to switch off the world and come back to the earth, to allow the eye to see a willow, a bush, a cloud, a leaf, is an unforgettable experience.

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

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

Illusion is the mantle of the Real

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.

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.
