Just Realize

3:30 am.

If it hurts too much, I’ve learned to not let it go on. I get up and become more vertical to the earth for some time, I put an ointment on the skin and wait for the pain to subside.

I am very awake and it feels good.

What would you expect your painting to be like at a time like this?

 

 

So soft

Surprisingly

The inside moves in slower waves than the outside

It can all happen

You don’t have to change a thing

Just realize

 

 

 

I used to be a graphic designer and an illustrator.  I became involved with the Chan Meditation Center and studied meditation and Buddhist knowledge with the late Master Sheng-yen from Taiwan. For twelve years I was in a process of deepening my meditation. I had many more experiences and insights and my life changed. After having illustrated more than 40 children’s books and writing two of them, I left this career too and went to New York University to study art therapy.
