What keeps me grounded and positive is my understanding of our interconnection. We are connected with one another, with the environment, with our communities and with the world as a whole. My actions, speech and even thoughts can and do impact everyone in my vicinity, and they carry their reaction forth into the world and so on and so on. What I do and say matters. What we all do and say matters.
In a world of filled with delusional egos, hate and bigotry, it is important that I maintain my connectedness despite wanting to withdrawal from it. I do this by setting boundaries. I keep those who are likeminded close, and those who aren't, are not welcome. I understand we all are suffering in our own way and instead of pushing all the negativity aside, I allow it in only to acknowledge it and then I gently send it away.
This artwork displays my connection to the world and the boundaries which are so important to maintaining balance and peace.
