If any of you have ventured into the world of creating art, or creating anything for that matter, as it is the process of creating that is the issue, not the resulting form (please download from my website and read my free award-winning paper on "The Creative Process"), then I think you will relate to the brilliance of the great poet and Sufi Master Hafiz, as he writes on the distinction between the good artist and the great one.
As you read please also think on the process of regenerating yourself to be the human being you honorably choose yourself to be, or would empower others to be.
Such process is not much different than creating art.
Happy Enlightenment!
The Vintage Man
The
difference
Between a good artist
And a great one
Is:
The novice
Will often lay down his tool
Or brush
Then pick up an invisible club
On the mind's table
And helplessly smash the easels and the
Jade.
Whereas the vintage man
No longer hurts himself or anyone
And keeps on
Sculpting
Light.
~• ten thousand blessings to you •~
