I watched the documentary on Agnes Martin last night. Second time.

She says, "You just can't be an artist if you can't be alone."

Inside our own minds, we can also be alone. Traffic calmed. Social media left alone. Quietness reigning.

She goes on: "You focus on everything. You are affected by everything. You are responding 100%."

She sat and stared at open New Mexico, letting the air ride into her geometric paintings. You can feel the meditation in the muted colors.

May our whole lives be prayers like this.
