There is a simple and profound meditation that I learnt from Dr. Les Fehmi to calm my mind. I invite you to try it:
Can I imagine the space in the distance between my eyes?
Can I imagine the space in the tissue inside my chest?
Can I imagine the silence between everything I’m hearing?
Can I imagine the stillness that holds everything that’s moving?

Dilemma: I spent years removing a numbing shell that helped me survive as a sensitive kid, but almost killed me as an adult. Now that it’s mostly gone, I have no idea how to live in the world without it (I'm learning).

Here is what I have learnt in my middle age: I love the best versions of me, but I especially love the worst versions of me. They need to be loved the most.

I have been painting for the past 6 months. I was longing for color and calm, and the series I will be sharing from now on has given me that.
This first painting is titled Poem. It is inspired by one of my favorites:
“Admit something.
Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”
Of course you do not do this out loud; Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.
Still though, think about this, This great pull in us
To connect.
Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye That is always saying,
With that sweet moon Language,
What every other eye in this world Is dying to
Hear.”
