That's another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it's as if things were coming together in my mind.

Peterson
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.William Blake

Clarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you are not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.Diane von Furstenberg
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.Vincent van Gogh

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.Lao Tzu
