We chase glory, success, outcomes—but the true path is simply to create. Let art be its own purpose. Success, like seasons, rises and falls: autumn’s applause fades; spring’s silence returns. Create mindfully, and you touch the eternal.

Peace begins in your own heart. You can’t force a flower to bloom by shouting—but you can water the soil. When you meet hatred, see the fear beneath. When you meet division, be the bridge. This isn’t passivity. It’s the hardest work: loving fiercely while the world rages. 🌸

I am starting up #drawabox again. I have started and never finished maybe two other times? But I am pretty committed to finishing this time. If you are wanting to improve your drawing I highly recommend draw a box. It's the same material FZD teaches.
