Simple Abundance

On our new path we will become seekers of what I call Everyday Epiphanies: those fleeting moments when, like Emily, we recognize the Sacred in our ordinary. 

“It is inevitable when one has a great need of something, one finds it," Gertrude Stein, the early twentieth-century American poet and Parisian avant-garde art collector, reassures us. What you need you attract like a lover."

One day in 1923, the artist Georgia 0'Keeffe came to the same con- clusion. "I found myself saying to myself... I can't live where I want to..Ican't go where I want to...I can't do what I want to. I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to...that seemed to be the only thing I could do that didn't concern anybody but myself."
