your spiritual path- its whats happening to you, you can never be off it. and path to me implies meeting other people along the path. and its the meeting of the others where the synthesis of ideas comes from and if im a vessel, i view my art from this techne influence as a crucible, a melting of ideas given to me by others ive met walking on the path
