“And to be in the moment without noticing that you are in the moment. Without thinking “I am here, this is good”, that is grace. To just enjoy the walk, the book, the bowl of soup, the conversation on the street is real gratitude. To let yourself be lost in the day so you can love the day fully is grace. To turn the page, or take the next step, or choose the next colour, full on being and doing at the same time. This is a rich life.”

"When I hook I listen to what I am feeling. It is how I decide what to make. Walking helps with this. It is a time free from distraction, walking surrounded by trees, birds, peoples homes and yards. These things seem to walk along with me as my mind roams, and weaves in and out of ideas. And most of the ideas are not much, not even much good. They are like dreams on the edge of sleep sometimes. I think though that they build on themselves. One loose thought meets another time and time again and eventually a spark flies and my brain lights up. I light up and I see a possibility."

"Enjoy every sandwich," said Warren Zevon. I have this quote on my bulletin board in my studio. Remember this, I tell myself. I see it everyday. And he is so right. Take time to savour the little things. Taste the goodness. Be in the moment.

“And today I still have a world around me. And I can pick and choose beautiful things there or I can get lost in realms that are outside of me and in which I have no real input and in which I do not matter. Let me always choose the real, the hearty, the mundane, the sacred, the world in which I really live.“

"We know it from making, from beauty, from art, from literature and music. We know that to feel is human. That to express what we feel is divine. And we cannot live without this because it is our sustenance. It is how we have grown as a human race. It is how we become who we are. It is how we cultivate our soul. It is the only truly way to connect."
