“To my fellow swimmers: There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift, that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore, they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our heads above water. And I say see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves, for the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we have been waiting for.” -Hopi Elders

“He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.” — Cormac McCarthy

Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it.
-Charles Bukowski

“The image serves the words, not vice versa, and neither is there a mutuality of service between words and pictures. The words hover over the images in a coat made of haughty, detached superiority complex. I think it’s because, in a magazine, the words are actually deeply insecure. They know they need the picture but they hate that reliance.” -Chris Floyd

These are fast times. We've come to value the immediate over the meticulous, the easy over the purposeful. Until we are confronted with true craft, we forget its worth.
