Everyday Ink

Deep longing for a society of peace, joy, and harmony - where everyone truly listens to everyone, respects each other. A society based on the foundation of believing in human basic goodness. Throughout history human beings have suffered so much, but have we learned anything? Sadness is always in my heart these days. Acrylic on canvas. 44 x 56 in. Peace, Joy, and Harmony

Again and again, I remember this poem from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's "Timely Rain": In the jungles of flaming ego, May there be cool iceburg of bodhicitta. On the racetrack of bureaucracy, May there be the walk of the elephant. May the sumptuous castle of arrogance Be destroyed by vajra confidence. In the garden of gentle sanity, May you be bombarded by coconuts of wakefulness. Acrylic on rice paper mounted on canvas.
