About Me

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art." -Da Vinci
"All artists are of necessity in some measure contemplative" -Evelyn Underhill
"To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things." -Eihei Dogen
"We spend our time preoccupied with the past, which doesn't exist-it's already happened. Or we are preoccupied with the future. It too doesn't exist-it hasn't happened yet. As a result, we miss the moment-to-moment awareness of our life and barely notice its passing. We eat but we don't taste, we listen but we don't hear, we love but we don't feel. We spend our lives lost in our heads." -John Daido Loori
"...Even monkeys fall out of trees." -Japanese proverb
"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who...transform a yellow spot into the sun." -Picasso
"Every artist at some time in their life walks on water." -Minor White
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." -Einstein
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." -Picasso
"It is true of every art that you cannot acquire what you have not felt." -Gustie Herrigel
