i was talking to a cowalker about her today and he asked me which stage i was at. at first i didn’t get it, but i had respect for the man because he is still fighting the fight, even after a divorce, for the life of the modern day artist. the people that believe art is above relationships and mortages but not above living sanity. and then he mentioned the three words and stage one was love. what i didn’t fullly digested until that moment was that there were TWO more stages! devotion and surrender. if devotion is marriage, is surrender a baby!? that’s one way to look at it but i thought of another angle. the surrender of the ego.
