 “all there is to thinking 

is seeing something noticeable 

which makes you see something you weren't noticing 

which makes you see something 

that isn't even visible.” 

“one of life's quiet excitements 

is to stand somewhat apart from yourself 

and watch yourself softly becoming 

the author of something beautiful 

even if it is only a floating ash.”

“my father was very sure about certain matters 

pertaining to the universe. to him 

all good things-trout as well as eternal salvation-

come by grace 

and grace comes by art 

and art does not come easy.” 

 

"on some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. 

under the rocks are the words, 

and some of the words are theirs.
i am haunted by waters.”
