Midweek: What Does Life/Art Ask Of Us?
"When you commit to a life in the arts or to any field that demands your full creative involvement and your largest meaning investment - whether as a research physicist, inventor, poet, activist, investigative reporter, or country-western singer - then you have made a deal with yourself that you will spend years, decades, even a whole lifetime in the pursuit of real results, excellence, and success, however you might define or measure these. You have said to yourself, "I am authentically involved in this. This matters to me."*
