In Service

Contentment is an empty container. It's the empty cup that is available for filling.

When I'm not constantly worried about how I'm feeling inside, when I'm not constantly tuned inward, it gives me the room to see. The room to see others, to see and interact with my environment, to appreciate and get inspired by simple things. It feels good not to feel heavy, not to have burden.

In these moments I am ready for something bigger. My work will take me to places I don't know yet, and I am ready for that. I am ready to embark on a larger mission, in service of something greater than myself, in which I can feel a surrender and give up my illusion of control.

I feel called to learn about my environment, about the way of things. With this kind of knowledge I can better focus my efforts, understanding what keeps this world in balance, what keeps the natural world thriving. So, I will start consciously keeping an ear out for this information. Connect with humans who know more than me, who can show me the way. Perhaps in time, I can use my art to teach others what I've learned.
