I had recently completed my first passion project painting—something that became so much more than I imagined it could be. It was a very intense experience over several weeks, but it was also incredibly rewarding—liberating in fact. Creating a life changing epiphany, revealing that only by living in full appreciation of each and every day do we experience true happiness. A happiness not dependent on some future desired outcome.
Becoming Truly Alive—is an ecstatic expression of living joyfully, celebrating the freedom that comes when you free yourself of worries and live in the moment. Wake up! Make right now the most wonderful moment of your life!
“This is now. Now is.
Do not postpone till then.
Spend the spark of iron on stone.
Sit at the head of the table.
Dip your spoon in the bowl.
Seat yourself next to your joy,
and have your awakened soul pour wine.
Branches in the spring wind,
easy dance of jasmine and cypress.
Cloth for green robes
has been cut from pure absence.
You are the tailor,
settled among his shop goods, quietly sewing.”
~ Rumi
