"When young, I expected miracles. Now old, I am grateful for small mercies."

"Life has turned out to be a series of lessons that I am not going to get my own way."  

“Control of the future has proved to be an elusive possibility."

"One of the most useless endeavors in this life is that of expecting people, including our parents, (and ourselves) to not be who and what they are, or to be who and what they are not. .   . I know, I did it all my life!"                                                      

 "An equally complete futile waste of time and energy, that people choose to occupy themselves with greatly,  as I did, is blaming, judging, and being right."           

"Most people are under the impression that, their reactions to, beliefs about, opinions and judgments of reality, are reality itself.  Most people, of course, are mistaken."                       

“A person such as myself, who believes that everyone is absolutely equal, that no person can ever be more than, or less than, one unit of humanity, is a democrat with a small d.”                                        

"The truth is generally so much simpler than we think it is."                                 

"The pursuit of truth is a parent to authenticity, just as authenticity leads to the pursuit of truth.  Original creativity is both the step-child and step-parent of both. This is applies to any field of knowledge."             

“Authentic love of humanity, authentic love of truth and beauty, being the ground of authenticity in general, are the first rungs on the ladder of rising consciousness, guiding the development of an evolving creative mind; while comprising most of the middle and final rungs too!”   

"Paradigm shifting creative originality, results from the pursuit of inspiration via intuition; intuition being defined as the product of the organic supercomputer, the metaphor that represents the subconscious mind, while inspiration being the spirit mind connection to the universal creative mind, where the virtually interchangeable, unchanging elements of truth and beauty exist, omni-present throughout all eternity, whether known by mankind or not."

"Paradoxically, it is impossible to locate intuition and inspiration by thinking and techniques: these are processes produced by the conscious mind and the conditioned personality,  creations that exist to obstruct access to these channels."  

“For the artist and/or healer, experience, knowledge and skill are useful to deal with what’s known and knowable, whereas love sharpens the senses and their focus, leading to intuition, guided to inspiration,  for deciphering the enigmas of that which defies analysis, the as yet unknown, the as yet unknowable, the unseen, the numinous and the ineffable.”   

"Creative therapy requires among other things, the combination of two attributes, not normally paired together, inspiration and horse sense."

"Elegance demands simplicity, and the process of producing elegance via simplicity is termed distillation."            

"Perfection is a will o' the wisp myth haunting humanity, like the Sword of Excalibur, strongly rumored to exist, but as yet never discovered in our actual plane of reality ."         

"Creativity is the joker in the pack."
