the love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere there is because a solitary soul loves you by choice not out of the need for company
I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
This is from an era where people were amazed and full of wonder about the incredible amounts of effort, time and talent put into artistic experiences made for them to enjoy.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.
