"I had a wonderful art teacher. He showed something truly important: that everything we come into contact with carries magic.
'What do you see there?' he would say. 'There, on the bridge… What’s there?'
'Trees. Houses, the river.'
'And what else? What else is there?'
'Well, I don’t know…'
'You see only blocks, only outlines. But what’s inside them?'
'Air.'
'Exactly! Now draw that air for me, feel it! That it is alive, moving, and has the quality of living matter. That’s it. That’s all there is. Nothing more.' ”
