Every painting is a voyage
into a sacred harbour.

There's nothing written in the Bible,
Old or New testament, that says,
If you believe in Me, you ain't
going to have no troubles.
Ray Charles
Just to be is a blessing.
Just to live is holy.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel*
Pleasure is spread
through the earth in
stray gifts to be claimed
by whoever shall find.

I didn't want to tell the tree
or weed what it was.
I wanted it to tell me something
and through me express its

not as the slow shaping
of achievement to fit
my preconceived purposes, but
as the gradual discovery and growth
of a purpose which I did not know.
