Mastering an art lies in loss of self in the art—as in the art of living.
Pits come when we are thinking most about ourselves. Pain makes us self-aware. Joy makes us other-aware; joy makes us aware of life—of the dance.
When I am in the pits, if I forget myself, I can always do my greatest thinking, my greatest creativity.

William M. Boast
