Vincent Van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo

“when you do something , you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself’ (from Zen Mind, Beginners Mind)

"To be an artist

 you have to make yourself vulnerable

 in exactly the ways

 that most people spend their lives 

trying to avoid"

"Suffering to know things, 

dying to feel things,

 fearing our end, 

loving in spite of it all. 

Thats pretty much the whole of it"

You have to slowly let go, of all that you've clung to tightly to survive because here you need something else to survive. You need to sit with the very stuff you're made of and for it to be okay. The silence, oh the silence, and the sea. (for J and for Orange)
