About Me

I'm a creative person by default. I enjoy making art, writing, taking photos and pretty much anything else i can create. I also really love animals, tattoos, music & japanese culture.
Ultimately my goal would be to put both my writing and art together into a book which would be called "Star Love." (Which is also tattooed on my knuckles)

Openness
It can be said that the divine itself is openness. In its wonderful ability to be open, we can learn from the flowers, which always incarnate this principle for us. A flower simply opens to the light and warmth of the sun and receives the moisture from the earth and the rain.

Being
Individuals who are mystically awake also have the ability to just be. Indeed, they are vitally conscious of the importance of this capacity for simply being. Contemplative spirituality is a call to being: to just be who we are in the deepest sense of our nature, our contemplative, mystical being. We all have this dimension of being by virtue of our humanity; everything else we do only adds to what we already are. In this, the flower is again our teacher. The flower doesn't do anything. The flower doesn't read books, answer letters, give speeches, or attend school. It just is.


Joy
Joy is an unmistakable sign of the deeper life. It comes as an abiding gift when an individual has reached union with the divine. This inner bliss that saturates our being, life, thoughts, actions, and relationships is an expression of spiritual plenitude, the fullness of the inner journey.
