Art making is my way of bringing soul back into my life. Soul is the place where the messiness of life is tolerated, where feelings animate the narration of life, where story exists. Soul is the place where I am replenished and can experience both gardens and graveyards. Art is my way of knowing who I am. Pat Allen
At the level of daily life, there certainly is loss. If we spiritualize it away, we cannot use it to grow. . . . This usually means allowing ourselves to be touched by life, to participate in it. we learn by experience. The unexperienced life does not teach anybody anything. There are no spiritual shortcuts.
