1916-1999, American Artisan, Poet
Art An artist creates out of the materials of the moment, never again to be duplicated. This is true of the painter, the musician, the dancer, the actor, the teacher, the scientist, the businessman, the farmer – it is true of us all, whatever our work, that we are artists so long as we are alive to the concreteness of a moment and do not use it to some other purpose. Centering , 1989All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
Autonomy / Control Our relationship to past symbols of authority is changing because we are awakening to ourselves as individual beings with an inner rulership. Property and credentials and status are not as intimidating any more … New symbols are rising: pictures of wholeness. Freedom sings within us as well as outside us. The Crossing Point , 1973
