Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Charles Swindoll
I prefer to climb in the dark. I am fully present, listening to the sound of my breath, comfortable in my own company, focused where to put my foot next. Each step takes me further away from the city towards solitude, simplicity and peace. I meet the occasional toad, the rustling of grass, a breath of wind. I break out of the forest, the stars guide me onwards. Eventually rounding a bend to a spectacularly clear view past the day glow glittering towers of Shen Zhen. I am home.
Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self seeking. Eckhart Tolle And to express gratitude. Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. John Milton
Every day I express gratitude for my life, my family and friends, my studio and for myriad opportunities to share my talents. August 22 is ‘Be an Angel Day’. I invite you to make the world a kinder place through a random act of kindness, volunteer or simply smile at strangers.
