Quote

Maybe the acceptance of anyone’s intuitive understanding of the eternal conflict between inconsistency and compatibility.

Our creating is a product of all of our life. We live integrated existences of soul and blood and music and wonder and ink and earth and dreams and stars and words and history. We must become creative people who remember the things that carried us forward.
