letters to a young poet
"Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain i am grateful for: patience is everything!"

Rainer Maria Rilke
goal for the summer: to grow as an artist. that is a big word to throw around because it seems loaded with so much professionalism, yet i am anything but. the obsession with documenting my life and thoughts will continue, but hopefully through a variety of mediums + a fun little project my sisters and i are going to start. two and a half weeks away.
the quote above applies to more than art, i think. i wish patience and peace to all my dear friends, here or abroad, who are struggling with issues from school to art to uncertainty. eternity lays before us all!!
