Excerpt from Agnes Martin's letter.... read more here...
"I never stopped painting because I never stopped receiving inspiration. You will never stop writing and listening to music. You and music do have a special bond. It serves you well. And you hear well. Keep listening.
Spend more time in silence.
Walk more. While you can.
And don’t worry so much. It will all go fine because “fine” includes everything – all the stuff we call good or bad. It’s just stuff. It is being human. That’s all. You get to be a human so you get to have the stuff that human beings call good or bad. Don’t worry. You’ll get all the stuff that humans are supposed to get. That’s our true nature.
Let it come. Receive it. And let it pass. Don’t cling to it. The happiness or the sadness. Just notice the inspiration. Both inspire. That’s all.
There is just the living of a life and knowing that is what you are doing. A living of a life. So pay attention.
Top of mountain.
Middle of mountain.
Bottom of mountain.
Doesn’t matter. No need to decide.
The mountain will find you.
Take good care of yourself,
Agnes Martin"
