Anyone who teaches
that solo experience is not the best teacher
is not the best teacher.

Solo experience
now and then teaches the hard way,
but the hard way is the unforgettable way.

Calm Water And Reflected Clouds

Educators have not only an opportunity
but an obligation to open the ‘doors of perception’ for all students.
The enduring purpose of education
is to provide students with a perception
of the outer reaches of their talents and possibilities
and, ideally, to give them a reason to continue to learn
and contribute to their society for all of their lives.
~ Bernice Bleedorn

This life, therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness;
not health, but healing; not being, but becoming;
not rest, but exercise.

We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it.
The process is not yet finished, but
it is going on.

This is not the end, but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory, but
all is being purified.
~ Martin Luther

Discovering What Is True

This time is about uncovering and discovering what is true….
The big old spruce that stand behind the cabin
reminds me that both of us grow by thrusting our roots
into the darkness as well as our branches into the light.

Jim At A Pass Between Rock Mountains

…I need to come home to myself.
It’s not really how far I move
to find my own wisdom that matters,
but it’s crucially important
that I take myself along on the journey.

Was something brushed across my mind
That no one on earth will ever find?
Heaven gives its glimpses only to those
Not in positions to look too close.

Orange Sunset Forest Reflection - A Fond Good Evening

Home is place, geography, and psyche;
it’s a matter of survival and safety,
a condition of attachment and self-definition.
It’s where you learn from your parents
and repeat to your children
all the stories of what it means
to belong to the place and people of your ken.
~ Barbara Kingsolver

Mastery By Force Of Need

Anyhow, all work that is worth while

has got to be memory work.

Even with a model before you in the quiet light of a studio

there must come a time when you have

what you want to know from the model,

when the model had better be sitting behind you than before,

and unless such a time as this does come,

it is not likely the work will get below the surface.

It would be easy to divide artists into two classes:

those who grow so much within themselves

as to master technique by the force of their need,

and those who are mastered by technique and become stylists.

~ Robert Henri, from The Art Spirit (from Heron Dance)

Bear's Face Just Above Huckleberries - Close Up

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.
