Robert Genn’s newsletter just landed in my inbox, titled: Perfect happiness.
As I read these, whether nodding or shaking my head, I am glad to know that the problems, pitfalls and rewards of making art are the same no matter what you’re doing. Isn’t that good? We can all learn from each other.
And what about this great quote:
Be philosophical. The happiest people take an “agnostic” approach where curiosity and questioning give more joy and stimulate more wonder than pat answers. We live our short spans in the vortex of a miracle, and while we may not be the center of that vortex, it is magic to be anywhere in there. Be happy! The gods insist on it. The philosophers can find no higher ideal. The pursuit of it is written in the US Constitution. It’s the pursuit that matters.
