A work of genius is just the slow carving of time, without notice – drip by drip, until “suddenly,” the art defines the times.
Keep at your work of genius, and avoid the allure of crowds. Conceal it from the cheers that want it to go faster and the jeers that want it to stop.
The purpose of your work is neither to be celebrated nor critiqued. Its purpose is to live beyond time and space.
To live out its purpose, it needs you to pour the purest parts of your being into it. Parts that come out in drips over a lifetime disciplined by love and suffering.
