The language of the artist

Neil June 4th, 2009

“The artist’s language is a sensual one, a language of felt experience. When we work at our art, we dip into the well of our experience and scoop our images. Because we do this, we need to learn how to put images back.”

unique sealed orders

Neil March 6th, 2009

“Throughout our lives each of us discovers more and more deeply our unique sealed orders, a way that only we are gifted to give and receive love.

When I am in touch with the special purpose of my life and carrying out my sealed orders, I have a profound feeling of consolation or rightness and my whole body relaxes.  I believe this sense of rightness expresses itself physiologically because the purpose of our life is built into the very cells of our body.

I have noticed this sense of rightness whenever I am in touch with our learning about the inner goodness of created things.  Loooking back, I realize that this has guided all my major decisions in life.”

Moments of desolation are equally instructive.
