If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

You enter the forest
at the darkest point,
where there is no path.
Where there is a way or path,
it is someone else's path.
You are not on your own path.
If you follow someone else's way,
you are not going to realize
your potential.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good.
It just means that you can accept it as a gift.

Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?
Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.
They are the destination, and the journey.
They are home.
