have learned that what I have not drawn I have never really seen, and that when
I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is, sheer miracle.

For
you can look at things while talking or with a radio going full blast, but you

non-creative environment is one that constantly bombards us, I said, overloads
our switchboard with noise, with agiation and with visual stimuli. Once we can

you go on a pilgrimage, you set out from where you happen to be and start walking
toward a place of great sanctity in the hope of returning from it renewed, enriched
and sanctified."
Pacem
in Terris is not tied to any particular religion, but to all. . . and to none.

share fully in the specifically human quest for meaning and for values to live
by. For to be human or not to be, that is the question!"
