the artist finds strength, Monotype of the Day #216

An artist must be jealous of their time alone. Every small moment must be gathered close or else risk missing the next message from The Artist, shepard of all creativity.

A Spiritual Journey
by Wendell Berry

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.
