David Hockney quotes
we grow small trying to become great
new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling
the 3 books by the bed project….
Don’t Call It Art is full of wisdom: we love scaffolding, & altho’ it is stuff we ‘know’
it is putting it into practice that is significant…
*************************************
great gratitude for nature
for our own true nature
made of the same stuff
