The Art of Seeing.

“Fame is no more than the sum of all the misunderstandings that gather around a new name.”

He was tasked to write the biography of the artist Rodin. But as Rainer Maria Rilke struggled to fill the blank pages before him, he realized that a greatness such as this could never be limited by the construct of word.

Oh, no – Rodin was born great. And to that end, even as a young boy too busy etching through worn scraps of wood, there was something far greater still – an unimpeded connection to the ever-growing life force of this world.

Rodin not only understood this energy, he mastered it – allowing nothing to challenge his capacity to see.

Artists such as Rodin – the true masters – exude an air of always knowing. To those, ‘the chosen few’, doubt is an unknown current. They see that which exists beyond physical form, connecting deeply to the source of spirit within.

Can you imagine living your life so freely, my loves? That the instinct to do is greater than any self-imposed worry?

For even the depths of a seemingly endless grey winter sky, yield the treasure of an ‘invincible spring.’

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
