There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. we reach then into reality. such are the moments of our greatest happiness. such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. it is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.

There Are Moments In Our Lives, There

Robert Henri
There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. we reach then into reality. such are the moments of our greatest happiness. such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. it is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.

More From Robert Henri

There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. such are the moments of our greatest happiness. such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.
Usual Moments Clairvoyant
I'm still in the middle of the transition. i'm still in man-boy mode. and that won't go away for a while. but it's a fun time to be in, because it's very rare that people get to work through this time. it's rare to see a john cusack in say anything. it's rare that you'd find an actor right in the cusp of the child-to adult transition, just got through puberty, just getting into a different way of life. there's few movies like that, and few roles like that, so it's going to be tough to pick and choose. i guess the goal is good people, work with good people.
Fun People Goal
Yes, the highest things are beyond words. that is probably why all art aspires to the condition of wordlessness. when literature works on you, it does so in silence, in your dreams, in your wordless moments. good words enter you and become moods, become the quiet fabric of your being. like music, like painting, literature too wants to transcend its primary condition and become something higher. art wants to move into silence, into the emotional and spiritual conditions of the world. statues become melodies, melodies become yearnings, yearnings become actions.
Dream Spiritual Art
He who cannot find time to consult his bible will one day find he has time to be sick; he who has no time to pray must find time to die; he who can find no time to reflect is most likely to find time to sin; he who cannot find time for repentance will find an eternity in which repentance will be of no avail; he who cannot find time to work for others may find an eternity in which to suffer for himself.
Time Sick Suffering
A religious belief is not a statement about reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. in short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. others are engaged in sucking it. others yet use the finger to gouge their eyes out. these are the bigots whom religion has made blind. rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.
Religious Taken Eye
Reality became for me a problem after my experience with lsd. before, i had believed there was only one reality, the reality of everyday life. just one true reality and the rest was imagination and was not real. but under the influence of lsd, i entered into realities which were as real and even more real than the one of everyday. and i thought about the nature of reality and i got some deeper insights.
Real Imagination Everyday

Disunion and civil war are at hand; and yet i fear disunion and war less than compromise. we can recover from them. the free states alone, if we must go on alone, will make a glorious nation. twenty millions in the temperate zone, stretching from the atlantic to the pacific, full of vigor, industry, inventive genius, educated, and moral; increasing by immigration rapidly, and, above all, free--all free--will form a confederacy of twenty states scarcely inferior in real power to the unfortunate union of thirty-three states which we had on the first of november.

The only real politics i knew was that if a guy liked hitler, i'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.

I've had an unbelievable life. i've been very lucky. you do create your own luck too, you know? i never forget where i'm from. whenever i pass a building site or see somebody digging a ditch, i always think, 'that's real work.'
