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 remember a roommate from a very artistic family that I had admired. Her graduate art show exactly expressed the window into her extraordinary world. It forever lit my artistic drive to create.
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.
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
– Pablo Picasso
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
Thanks for shining the spotlight on this poet today. Hadn't known of him. Have taken note. Cheers

I love the artists you mentioned, Albert, and your poetic advice about the art and sacrifice of writing. Thank you.
We are all out here fishing for Ideas and meaning maybe we need bigger nets...
Thank you!
Trueee, sometimes that's really not much to be explained, it's the intuition, it's the thing so called "willingness"

Poetry can be a window and a mirror.
Can we have some women authors & artists included please.

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.
Is it?
Very nice.. thanks!
