The Certainty of Things Unseen

 

Proof: the evidence and argument that establishes the truth of a statement.

Faith: the willingness and experience of believing something is or might be true despite little proof.

Belief: an acceptance that something exists or is true without proof.

Truth: a fact that in future may be overturned as new evidence and understanding comes to light.

Those things I value most are not easily proven yet undoubtedly exist: love, compassion, and beauty.

Feeling High, Feeling Low

 

At times my self-confidence is high, and at others it is low. Although I do not enjoy the unrest doubt brings, it provides the balance to my certainty. People who make things repeatedly pass the fulcrum of their contentment.

As children we have little control over the constant flux of feeling good and bad, and perhaps because of this, when young, we tend to make far more.

Becoming Something Else

 

I enjoy the creative process most when it is an unencumbered conversation of ideas and practice. My ideas are expressed with sound, light, and words. When for example I place a word before me, it asks something of me through its meaning, associations, and beauty. I experience this as a conversation. In this context the practice refers to how that word is used, and where that word is placed.

After I begin something it often becomes something else.
