To those willing to step into the fire and burn something from nothing into creation, there are two paths.

The first is of the artist who evades their emotional depths because they fear to enter them, know nothing of the journey and falsely believe like Joyce or Rilke, that “to take my devils away and my angels may flee too”.

The second is the path of the artist who is psychologically and somatically integrated, like Hesse and Gilbran, who understand what they are channeling and why, and who aligns themselves with their gift, weaves it into their mission, and soul development.
