"If any of you can say a word of Zen, you will save the cat."(I found myself on Google when I looked this up to get the quote right. So there you are. My words are eternal now, I'm afraid. Unless human-unkind destroys this lovely planet I am "in the cloud.")
Not that art and literature is worthless. Oh, no. I love beauty. I love other people's art. But my interest in photography is the same - I love to see good photos, but don't feel the urge, even need, to take them. (Anyway, I've taken so many, and that goes for words too.) My spiritual development right now seems to be about being in reality, letting it change and pass, not making something of it. Just a thought.
