You know what? I'm no longer doing things that don't light me up.
What feels interesting?
What feels exciting?
What's my curiosity saying?
It's so easy to listen to other people's advice and opinions, following the direction of the "experts." But what could be more expert than our own inner wisdom?
đ Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
This is where my journey with Agnes Martin begins - chapter 4, part 3 of A Simpler Life titled âvoluntary povertyâ.
The first time I read this, I was at a loss for words. How can someone live like this? I suppose a better question is, what did Agnes Martin realize or see that most of us donât? Somehow, she was able to see that these fleeting forms of pleasure donât bring happiness anyway, like Rupert (Spira) says.
Something else fulfilled her and it wasnât to be found in acquiring material objects.
Personally, I know these things donât bring happiness, certainly not in and of themselves. Iâve known this for years yet I still fall back into these cycles of materialistic consumption. I must pay more attention to the moment that my awareness shifts from the internal to external.
Cut a chrysalis open and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly⊠No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay.
