UNCONDITIONAL EXPRESSION

We no longer regard a work of art as a gimmick or as confirmation. It is simply expression — not even self expression, just expression. We could safely say that there is such a thing as unconditional expression that does not come from self or other. It manifests out of nowhere, like mushrooms in a meadow, like hailstones, like thundershowers.
