At first
The red and the green
Fought with each other
And each of them was pure
Then the grey opinion said
That they were bad
And had to be hidden
From the public
Parts of them
As is always the case
Showed up
Anyway
Unstoppable
And right
But not any more
Pure and innocent
Then from fighting with the grey
The yellow lines appeared
And taking middle stage
They are screaming in our face
The yellow lines are what
In human terms
Is called
Pain.
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.
