“I do not have easy days at home now and I drift between fear and helplessness in sunny rooms where it is unspeakably cold. Strange shudders of transformation, bodily experienced to the point of vulnerability, visions of mysteries until the certainty of having died, ecstasies to the point of stony petrifaction, and a continuation of dreaming sad dreams.” HomeDreamEasyRoomsVisionMysteryStrangeColdDiedTransformationCertaintyVulnerabilityEcstasySunnyHelplessnessContinuationEasy Days Author:Georg Trakl

“Human beings are like detectives. They love a mystery. They love going where the mystery pulls them. What we don't like is a mystery that's solved completely. It's a letdown. It always seems less than what we imagined when the mystery was present. The last scene in `Blow Up' is so perfect because you leave the theater still dreaming. Or the end of `Chinatown,' where the guy says `Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown.' It explains so much but it only gives you a dream of a bigger mystery. Like life. For me, I want to solve certain things but leave some room to dream.” WantGivingHumansStillsEndsDreamSeemsLastsGuyCertainHuman BeingsPerfectForgetRoomsMysterySceneBiggerTheaterBlowSolveForget ItDetectivesJakeLetdownsChinatown Author:David

“Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don’t understand but something I’m able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.” KnowsI CanImportantHelpingUseLightAbleRoomsCreativityMysteryTalentJudgmentRemainsImportant ThingsElectricityCathedralsLight UpHarnessPlugsSave A LifeSynagogueOperating Room Author:Maya Angelou
“The art form has to do with the mystery and the hidden invitation that's in the room. And that's when the magic happens, that's when the deep silence emerges to the surprise of all the attentively listening ears. In a way, you're following that silence. You go where the silence is deepest.” WayArtHappensFormRoomsSilenceMagicMysteryListeningEarsSurpriseFollowingSilence IsInvitationsListening Ear Author:David Whyte
