The best place of 2009 is my studio. I think Rumi sums it up best:
Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.
My studio is a place where I don’t have to talk or figure anything out and creation flows. Sometimes creativity doesn’t flow, but I trust it remains a crucible for that field. And, I find comfort in that knowing.
