poet's words

"all progress must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything. everyting is gestation and then bringing forth. to let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life." -Rainer Maria Rilke
