A Record Of Our Progress

“A lot of people I’ve talked to seemed surprised that I’ve kept all these notes.

I don’t understand why they think that.

Jerry Seinfeld, Is This Anything?

“Every student should put down in some form or other his findings. All any man can hope to do is to add his fragment to the whole. No man can be final, but he can record his progress, and whatever he records is so much done in the thrashing out of the whole thing. What he leaves is so much for others to use as stones to step on or stones to avoid.”

Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

It is proof of our progress and existence.

Evidence that we have created, reflected and shared.

We have connected with those who came before.

We reach out to those following behind.

Let’s join hands…
