Creative work needs solitude... concentration without interruptions. It needs the whole sky to fly in; with no eye watching until it comes to that certainty which it aspires to... Privacy, then. A place apart. ~ Mary Oliver.
If you see a whole thing - it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives... But up close a world's all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
