Quote: Inspiration is always everywhere…
“That which takes place by surprise, moments of happiness, that is inspiration. Inspiration is there all of the time for everyone whose mind is not clouded over with thoughts, whether they realize it or not. Inspiration is pervasive but not a power. It is a peaceful thing. It is a consolation even to plants and animals. Do not think that it is unique. If it were unique, no one would be able to understand your art work.

Portrait: Hidden Light
“You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don’t hide a light under a bowl.
