What about those images not thought out, but made with an inner quiet?  I am there, not only moving toward creation but toward realization.  Knowledge and viewpoint are at the service of what, in me, wants to know.  I feel my way.  I know and direct up to a  point and only so far as nature cooperates to carry out what I feel.  We must be ready to use whatever in us necessary to complete or manifest what we feel.  In the end, I produce something that is a surprise to me.  There are no rules. I only work and say what I have discovered.
