Surrender is not something that you can do. If you do it, it is not surrender, because the doer is there. Surrender is a great understanding that, “I am not.” Surrender is an insight that the ego exists not, that, “I am not separate.” Surrender is not an act but an understanding.
The mind is like tofu. By itself, it has no taste. Everything depends on the flavor of the marinade it steeps in.
The paradox is that we have this amazing capacity in our minds and hearts to learn and gain insights and then to build a kind of personal storehouse of knowledge. The underside is that those insights harden and fill the spaces in our hearts and minds. They become assumptions, conclusions and judgments.

that are never written,
that simply move across
the mind
like skywriting
on a still day:
slowly the first word
drifts west,

on the tongue,
and what is left
is the pure blue
of insight, without cloud
or comfort.

Be clear in your mind why learning to draw well is important. Drawing enables you to see in that special, epiphanous way that artists see, no matter what style you use to express your special insight.

The creative man with an insight into human nature, with the artistry to touch and move people, will succeed. Without them he will fail.
