the artist's job is walking in total darkness 
your foot could be a very valuable tool
for making art
there are many different ways to read epigrams
as many as there are epigrams
we live behind a screen of our own making
so neither we nor others see what's inside
how awful to not find the friend 
in life that is waiting
even though i am not happy with myself
i am happy with myself
i love myself
i attempted to share it though
there were no words, means
the artist's job is to seek
i want to study but my head fills
with thoughts to write down
instead
i cannot participate this round
i should let up
most of life is imagined 
but a little bit is real
that is art
because i believe in an end
i am lazy
we walk the line of 
all encompassing 
and individual
attention
it's important for you
to recognize 
the mystery 
where experience goes
artists are like insects
with their feelers
emotions
why do i wait
is spiritual work instinct
when an artwork shows
the pure good
you can see it in the world
the point of education
is to assist others 
in finding themselves
in love
the light i find is
in the work
if you cannot live at the edge of all things
you cannot live at all
you have the tool of art
to make you the light in this world
that is what makes art
number one hundred
which beats
the sea
or the beach

-this is what i scribbled from richard tuttle's 100 epigrams. i may have missed some 
particular words or i may have misheard or heard selectively or translated.
i hope in the right spirit.
