Author Annie Dillard's observation about living in the present is equally descriptive of the artist's ideal state of mind when creating or performing:
What I call innocence is the spirit’s unself-conscious state at any moment of pure devotion to any object. It is at once a receptiveness and total concentration.
[ from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek]
