There’s a “still point” as Elliot would say, where, I don’t say it’s unaffected, but it’s not pushed off its perch – you’re able to keep something going whatever happens to you outwardly. And that’s the secret of life really. You don’t have any say in what happens to you, but you do have a say in how you react and that’s what this work is all about – never mind good use and all that. That’s what this work is about. That’s why I’m still doing it. If it were just therapeutic in the ordinary sense, I don’t think I would be.
