How do you begin your day? Here is how artist Anne Truitt describes her morning routine:
I begin each day with a solitary early morning walk on the beach, during which I am often the only person in sight. I step on tide-washed sand and run my eye along the blue-gray eastern horizon between sea and sky. If I slice this line into segments, each appears to be straight, but the sweep of the whole curves to render the world perceptibly round. Just so, an individual life can appear to be isolated and without purpose unless recognized as contributing continuity to lives that precede it and followit, endowing each human span with rech universality.
Turn and Anne Truitt's other book, Daybook, are must-reads if you are looking for insights into art-making and life.
