”It was particularly exciting to me to come upon David Bohm’s Wholeness and the Implicate Order in 1980 just at the moment when my own work bearing “wholeness” in its title appeared. … It is particularly moving to find the physicist Bohm saying that reality … lends itself much more to the way of understanding one might have of the arts, of poetry and dance for example, though it is in music that he finds the leading paradigm. This is not aesthetics but morphology.

“In the light of these developments, we can extend our image beyond pottery and speak of “artistic mind.” That is, mind that makes connections between things ordinarily thought to be different. … For us now the doing has to be a free choice out of our destiny, without pressure. For this is what fires our hearts, is it not? To feel ourselves free to love and to live. Unbullied and unbullying. Unhaunted by a conscience made guilty by social pressures and expectations. To act from source freely.”
