What is an artistic picture? an artistic picture is very simple. the creator is not the producer. the creator is not the star. the creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. the creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. that is an artistic picture.

The relationship we have with god is not the same over a life; sometimes, as with human relationships, it goes through bad patches and sometimes it becomes very intense. it is a terrifying thing to have a relationship with one's creator, to spend one's life so that one is trying to converge with one's creator seems an extraordinarily difficult and sublime thing. but at the same time it's extremely simple. one of the things which perpetually amazes me is that at any moment or any day, anyone who is alive can talk with the creator of the cosmos.
