Today I’m starting again with a portrait, I felt like going back to digging inside myself… I’ve learned that following a straight line is not always the right way and perhaps bringing the darkest shadows into the light allows us to appreciate them better, after all we are always convinced that in duality black must succumb and die, but if we look a little further we realize that without shadow light would have no form, everything is part of everything.

It’s hard to stand still and watch your blood fizzle, often you wish you didn’t see, didn’t feel, didn’t suffer.
When your heart explodes…when you put your whole soul and get hurt….

And we return with a self-portrait, to understand better…to see better…to evolve.
In the West, we often see life as a climb toward success, toward enlightenment, toward a goal that at some point will accord us value….
It would be nice to live just for the sake of living, to see for the sake of observing and to be for the sake of being….
There is nothing complex about serenity; it is the antithesis of the entangled thinking we carry within us. Life is how you live it…

Head whipping and not stopping, does growing really follow a linear path or is it just a succession of changes? Time goes on and on and cannot be stopped, only images fix time, but then the way you will look at them changes…
What a surprise to find out how you will look at the world, I wish I could be there to smile with you.
