Reflecting on a mantra that sustains me through challenges.

Coming away from the idea that love is something we own or control, this poem is a reflection on my belief that love is a life energy that exists for all.

Noticing that partners in a relationship are different and complement each other. Understanding that neither knows what will happen but both can decide how to make the best of what they have together.

Reflecting on the realization of the experience that is the root of who I am.

Reflecting on the beauty of awakening and anticipating the Spring season.

Sharing a constant battle that I must face in order to learn as my present self.

As important as an end goal is, the journey to the end is just as valuable.

Reflecting on a search I made for what I thought was missing but discovered that it was buried within.

Reflecting on working with what we have, what we think and the importance of doing our best.

Sharing a moment of recognizing how the marks considered as imperfection are the strokes of beauty that express the perfection gathered throughout my journey.

Remembering that every detail in artwork has a purpose like every individual and trusting in the process.

Inspired by the realization that the pain I suppressed in my past reappears today and trying a different way of dealing with it.

A reflection on the different perspectives and components that a piece of artwork holds.

Reflecting on how productivity isn’t always how success should be measured. Acknowledging how small contributions are valuable to our success.

Believing is the first step to becoming. Focus on your intention and know your why to keep growing with the changes.

Reflecting on how the past has affected my mind and the effort required to reprogram old habits.

For whenever there is motivation to reach a new level, I must make it possible by staying present and accepting who I am.

Choosing to look back to recognize growth instead of judging what cannot be changed.

To be conscious of now, I had to explore my past, forgive what had to be and sort through what is no longer necessary.

Enjoying the changing seasons and anticipating the magic of love that comes with it!
