Here’s a beautiful and inspiring poem by Zen practitioner Wendell Berry:

real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have
begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

I'm Trish Roque and this is my arty blog. My goal is to make more art and to post it here along with musings and the many lessons I no doubt will encounter.
