I want to emphasize the fact that we all have the same experience and the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly. Once he sees this fact his feet are on the path. If you want to know the truth you will know it. The manipulation of materials in an artwork is a result of this state of mind. The artist works by awareness of his own state of mind.

-Agnes Martin

I want to crush the reactive pace that keeps my feet off the path.

"Get things done in order to get other things done," is not serving my summer schedule well. Prioritizing time and intensity is scary. I'm afraid of the worst monster I can imagine. The one that screams, "It's not worth it."

I'm feeling the lack of clarity more acutely as I take the time to focus on it; like shining a headlight on fog.

Also PMS.

Save me today Agnes Martin. I can't slow down. I need to slow down.
