“She seems always to me to be asserting that truth is deep, that we must keep going, that truth is hard, that we cannot settle for the merely palatable.
We must always keep burning through our illusions. When she speaks of Michelangelo or Caravaggio it’s like she speaks to the universal, that there is a language in light, a perennial truth in the expressions of human faces, that the artist can capture, render, create truth. It is this that I need from her.
The spiritual courage to keep looking, a hardness always couched in compassion, the mother’s love but an acceptance of the duty we bear if we choose to walk the path.
Do Not Stop,
Do Not Deceive Yourself.”
Excerpt From
