“One for whom a pebble has value must be surrounded by treasures wherever he goes.”
— The Dwarf. By Par Lagerkvist.
My college mentor had me read this wonderful novel written about Leonardo da Vinci from the viewpoint of a surly, cynical court dwarf. I’ve never forgotten this line from the book which has come to describe my life as an artist.
Every day is filled with treasure if you adopt the viewpoint that anything can be used and/or transformed into a vehicle for expressing the human spirit and appreciation for life in all its forms.
