The way out of suffering


I have recently started to paint Mandalas. I find it very meditative. I usually meditate before painting. Starting with a blank paper, drawing a circle around a plate and then sometimes draw shapes and filling them, sometimes just paint inside the blank circle. Colors are chosen intuitively. I find it interesting to watch what colors are chosen and try to observe what's happening in the body while painting them. This is #6 called Filling out.

"We're turning around huge momentums. You got to work on it and it takes basic strength, basic heart and basic clarity. There's your team. "
from The way out of suffering, stress (Ajahn Sucitto)



Decisions...

















Life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes you just have to make a choice.
