I may disagree in the subject of chaos but I am floored by your writing on this subject. I was an artist for a period in my life, instructed by an artist, mentored by another, but one of the tenets of painting I recall most vividly is “There is no White!!!, it’s filled with color. Use your eyes — SEE!”

Ha, yes chaos....more to come on that one...curious on how we disagree on that one. But for now, I am happy to have floored you Patris! You made my day yesterday...thank you.

So funny how you say you were an artist for a while. I often say I have been a musician. And then real musicians reply; that is not possible, once a you are its a lifetime deal....and they may be right I'm afraid.

Teaching ways of seeing will always stop me in my tracks. An obligation too when you can do it. I took it as a gift - and with other writings here in this astonishing space - passed it forward.
