Harmony with Yourself

KeywordsA shift in perspective; following your inner voice; making friends with yourself

The Story of the Mandala

A work from October 2025, from a time when I was not facing myself. In drawing and in every decision I kept wavering. Who I am now is reflected just as it is… the world outside reflects the world within… So let me look squarely at what is real, and see what it is telling me. Sometimes we sway and lose our balance. For to waver is proof that we are alive.

From “Today’s Message”To waver is proof that you are living as yourself, with sincerity…


Artist’s Notes

Lately I had not been facing my inner self. I wanted simply to concentrate on drawing… With that thought, I began…

As I went on, there was nothing but hesitation… So the lines I drew in pencil remain as they are, never traced over in pen… Who I am now is reflected just as it is…

I did not have enough time to draw, but I was able to face who I am now… Outer reality reflects what is within… So let me look at reality squarely, and see what this reality is telling me…

I named this work “Fluctuation”. Swaying and wavering, I sometimes lose my balance. And that is all right… Fluctuation is proof of being alive…
