a wonderful painting is the result of the feeling in your fingers. if you have the feeling of the thickness of the ink in your brush, the painting is already there before you paint. when you dip your brush into the ink you already know the result of your drawing, or else you cannot paint. so before you do something, being is there, the result is there. even though you look as if you were sitting quietly, all your activity, past and present, is included, and the result of your sitting is also already there. |
