New Horizon

If you can see no future for yourself and feel your life has ended, it has. The life you know has come to an end. Let it go, mourn it, and then the life you don’t know will come.

Duality

There is a simple and profound meditation that I learnt from Dr. Les Fehmi to calm my mind. I invite you to try it:

Can I imagine the space in the distance between my eyes?

Can I imagine the space in the tissue inside my chest?

Can I imagine the silence between everything I’m hearing?

Can I imagine the stillness that holds everything that’s moving?

Armadilo

Dilemma: I spent years removing a numbing shell that helped me survive as a sensitive kid, but almost killed me as an adult. Now that it’s mostly gone, I have no idea how to live in the world without it (I'm learning).

Feisty

Here is what I have learnt in my middle age: I love the best versions of me, but I especially love the worst versions of me. They need to be loved the most.

New Paintings

I have been painting for the past 6 months. I was longing for color and calm, and the series I will be sharing from now on has given me that.

This first painting is titled Poem. It is inspired by one of my favorites:

“Admit something.

Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”

Of course you do not do this out loud; Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.

Still though, think about this, This great pull in us
To connect.

Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye That is always saying,

With that sweet moon Language,

What every other eye in this world Is dying to
Hear.”
— Hafiz
