Life and work are not things apart. Work is more than gaining privileges and possessions; it is ongoing, ecstatic, LIVING experience. When we tap into living experience, we no longer feel as though we must be king. We can just be ALIVE at work! When we live in the bliss, there is no difficulty which is insurmountable. If we miss the bliss, there is no compensation which is adequate.

Without self-expression, life lacks spontaneity and joy. Without service to others, it lacks meaning and purpose.

The artist accepts the limitations of form, not with fear and dread, but as the starting point of creation.

Good intentions are not enough; commitment and sacrifice are necessary.
