In those periods of history which

produced great - that is authentic

- art, this art was always the

manifestation of some degree of

spiritual unification of the artist

as a whole person, in poetry, in

imagery, or even in doing everyday

things in that total, that

'esthetic', that Zen way, in which

body, mind, and spirit are

undividedly involved, integrated.

The simplest utensil, the lowliest

earthenware bowl, testified in its

beauty to these qualities of the

spirit which are at the wellspring

of all living cultures.
