A practice begins with where we are, with what is possible for us.
We begin with the possible and move gradually towards what,
for the moment, seems to be impossible. We begin with small things.
Before doing something, we do nothing. Doing nothing is very hard:
it is a form of radical neutrality, a determining feature of the
accomplished artist. Doing nothing is to hold ourselves in place, in front
of an unfolding event that takes place through us, rather than because
of us (and sometimes despite us & our well-intentioned efforts).
