If my work comes from that quiet place, then whatever I do is somehow going to be supported.
A Pause For Beauty
There is a little voice in all of us that is just a whisper. A tiny whisper. When you go into nature, into the wilds, especially alone, the whisper can come out and talk more. . . I used to think that if I did a certain kind of work, I could become a certain kind of person. Now I realize that I have to continually do whatever it is that will allow my work to come out of that deep place, where the poetry came out of when I was floating over the still water. If my work comes from there, then whatever I do is somehow going to be supported.
