Give us a moment.... The creative artist can be in somewhat of a quandary, according to his beliefs, for he wants to preserve the precious moment, the fleeting thought, the daffodils, the perceived insights. At the same time he often feels the need to stand apart from life, from the fleeting thoughts, the daffodils or the insight, so that he will not be lost completely in the moment, but able to form almost a second self with a larger viewpoint, who can then more clearly examine and understand the thought, the moment, or the insight.

The creative artist can be afraid of letting himself go completely in his life, for fear that he will become so involved that he will forget to stand apart, to look or to listen. Now to some degree that is Ruburt’s quandary, and to a lesser extent, your own.

You want to examine life, to experience it, and yet in some way find in time a safe dimension apart from time. What you want is a second life in life, in which to appreciate and examine life’s experience. The ordinary distractions of life immediately then cause conflict. On the one hand, they are living, these distractions. They are life. On the other hand, they rob you in time of that second life you want, in which to examine your experiences.
