Robert, you know that I am crazy about your work, but I TOTALLY disagree with Ms.Fitzgerald. Why make yourself feel useless? Isn't this what purposeless work does?

Keep painting! You have purpose.

Thanks for the comment, Lavanna. I think what Sister Fitzgerald means is to do something just for the sake of doing it, without having a gaining idea. In Zen it's called non-willed action.
