An Ode to Life

As the day breaks, a thought emerges from within a dream: “To awaken, you must not surrender to confusion or control — you must trust your own clarity to safeguard your inner (well) being.”

It is our responsibility to learn discernment as we age, to grow in our wisdom and seek truth. To find answers, we look within as the sages have taught us for generations. The external world is full of distractions from our own inner wisdom, and to silence the noise, we awaken reflections. Reflections that illuminate how the external world mirrors the inside, which we can learn to tame, transform and create a reality that no longer masks our beauty, but highlights the peace and clarity that fills our life, and in turn shares with us the divine order of it all.

Within this space, everything is as it needs to be. The light and dark within the work create contrast and character, as reflections when gazing into the mirrors of the mind. Each stroke of colour, each line or curve has a purpose, and it is our dharma to find it.

Dharma invites us to notice where our actions, choices, and intentions align with our true purpose. As creators, the tools we use to express our inner world reflect our essence and soulful acts of rebellion to create peaceful protests for our freedom.

May these words remind you of your power to embody world peace as a reflection of what lives within.
