Reminds me of another quote of Pablo:

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”

- Pablo Picasso

Thank you for this post and its spiritual component with sages of the east, recognizing some artists to do their intense focus and consistency and making their art.

I love the artists you mentioned, Albert, and your poetic advice about the art and sacrifice of writing. Thank you.

Trueee, sometimes that's really not much to be explained, it's the intuition, it's the thing so called "willingness"

I just posted Annie Dillard two days ago. I have numerous poems from Julia Vinogad and Mary Oliver and Anne Sexton. But I post mostly who I read. And the vast majority of philosophers were men. But their writings transcend the lower nature of gender identity.

That’s the problem. Check out lalo kikiriki, the illusive, elusive Texas poet.

It's not a problem. At all. We read who we want to read. And it's okay.
