that would work through us. We are all equally connected to
a spiritual source. We do not always know which among us
will teach us best. We are all meant to cherish and serve one
another. The Artist’s Way is tribal. The spirit of service
yields us our dharma: that right path we dream of following
in our best and most fulfilled moments of faith.

Until    we  accept  the     fact    that    life    itself  is  founded     in

mystery,    we  shall   learn   nothing.
