Someone is Riding the Playful Waves

I do not plan.

I make what wants to be made.

I listen in and do and do

Until I know it’s finished

I still do not know what it is

I prop it up and look.

I realize I like it.

I find that it’s a happy painting.

Someone is riding the playful waves and is feeling very good.

He comes from green.

He is close to the clouds and can touch them if he wants.

He is bursting with energy

And radiating

Love.

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.
