This is the essence of the artistic process. When we’re in liminal space between now and what is about to come, we’re fully alive.*
Seth Godin

When one goes to the forest, one seeks mokșa, or release. Now, this word is often translated as “freedom.” That is not what it means. It means release from ego itself.**
Joseph Campbell

It is possible to move directly from where you are
to where you want to be, but look closer and you will see
there exists a space between here and there, and to
enter and explore is to uncover more possibilities –
Not only the things you can do, but also
the person you can be;
These liminal spaces are all around you:
To enter and explore, or to pass and keep going is always
a choice.

You have two essential tasks in life: to be a good person and to pursue the occupation that you love. Everything else is a waste of energy and a squandering of your potential.^
