What Pablo Said

"The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." - Pablo Picasso

I found this Picasso quote today. It resonated deep in my bones as being true for my ways as an artist. At times it is as if I receive the energy of things. Shamanic beliefs are that all things are alive... even inanimate things. I once read a true story of a shaman who visited Miami and touched a skyscraper to hear what it had to say to him. Actually, what she had to say to him. According to that shaman, the building was female.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
