Just quoting a few of your words before adding in my comments: "What occurs to me is that there’s an “art” of psyche-making, an art that’s an ongoing way to live with what is given us (rather than limiting art to what is depicted or presented in form); which gives a deepening to life, a recognition of certain shades that haunt our homes." I agree that there is an art. And, as with all art, the process of creation/revisioning/recognizing both changes the ego and the deeper self. The art process becomes life itself, a way of being in both the inner and outer worlds. The destination is irrelevant, it is the journey as art/artist that is important. The destination waits regardless of our intent or agenda. Hi Ron.
