Everything in nature is changing, and so is your story. Acceptance doesn’t mean this is how it’s going to end. It’s an acknowledgement that this is where it begins. We are all works in progress. To be alive is to evolve. You can play an active role in that evolution, but first you need to recognise that it is happening.

make objects that talk — and then listen to them

Sometimes you need to scan the forest, sometimes you need to touch a single tree — if you can't apprehend both, you'll never entirely comprehend either. To see things is to enhance your sense of wonder both for the singular pattern of your own experience, and for the meta-patterns that shape all experience. All this suggests a useful working approach to making art: notice the objects you notice. (e.g. Read that sentence again.) Or put another way: make objects that talk — and then listen to them.
