Loving, creating, sculpting a joy-filled life.
The Difference between a good artist
and a great one is:
The novice will often lay down his tool or brush
Then pick up an invisible club on the mind's table
And helplessly smash the easels and Jade.
Whereas the vintage man no longer hurts himself or anyone
And keeps on sculpting Light

It Felt Love
It Felt Love
How did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its Being,
Otherwise
We all remain
Too
Frightened

"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience."

Children are born passionately eager to make as much sense as they can of things around them. If we attempt to control, manipulate, or divert this process...the independent scientist in the child disappears.-----John Holt

Remember to buy the most durable, longest-life products you can find. All manufactured stuff still creates 20 to 70 pounds of wasted resources for every one pound of finished product.
