“If we follow the path of any pain,any psychological wounding,it will lead us to the same primal pain— the pain of separation.Being born into this world,we are banished from paradise &carry the scars of separation. But if we embrace the suffering, and allow it to take us deep within ourselves,it will take us deeper than any psychological healing.
And from there, creativity lives.”

“Bittersweet is a way of being, a story tradition. It’s an authentic and elevated response to being alive in a deeply flawed, yet stubbornly beautiful world. Most of all, bitter sweetness shows us how to acknowledge pain, and how to turn it into art the way that artists do, like musicians, or innovation, or anything else that nurtures the soul.”
