“That is the choice. It comes to every one of us, in whatever beauty we pursue. To continue as an aspiring artist, doing our making safely on the side—dipping the toe, coloring in the lines, delivering the expected. Or to face our drowning, thirsting desperation and fling ourselves into the wild, even as an amateur—a lover. And lest you think you can simply avoid this choice, you must understand avoidance is still a choice.”
