Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

Claude Monet @monet.bsky.social · 1d

Was awake all night thinking about painting.
I didn't actually paint, but planned out the composition and materials and process...

But nothing got done other than advancing my exhaustion.
