Two Owls Look Out

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Security does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of humanity as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
~ Helen Keller

Owl In Silence

So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative
to change their situation because they are conditioned
to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism,
all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,
but in reality nothing is more dangerous
to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

The very basic core of a one's living spirit is their passion for adventure.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence
there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different Sun.
~ Christopher McCandless

Wild Salmon Looks Out

All good things --- trout as well as eternal salvation ---
come by grace and grace comes by art
and art does not come easy.

Salmon's Face

The secret of the creative life
is often to feel at ease with your own embarrassment.
We are paid to take risks, to look silly.
Some people, like racing car drivers
are paid to take risks in a more concrete way.
We are paid to take risks in an emotional way.
The film critic is like a medical examiner.
He gets the cadaver on the table, he opens it up,
and tries to figure out why it died.
The filmmaker is like the pregnant mother
who is simply trying nurture this thing.
You have to keep the medical examiner
out of the delivery room because he will get in there
and he will kill that baby.
~ Paul Schrader, interviewed by Terry Gross,
Fresh Air (from Heron Dance)

Let the beauty of what we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

A life of creativity is a life of risk.
It is a life of going beyond your ordinary,
of embracing the odyssey, of leaving your familiar,
of trying to make a contribution….

Creativity comes from trust.

Trust your instincts.

And never hope more than you work.

Art is knowing which ones to keep.
