Whilst working in my studio, I'm obsessed with listening to fiction authors. They're articulate, compassionate & enlightened.

"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears," (Rumi) or as attributed to Picasso, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." Never a truer word... and am enjoying this new path. Watch this space x

There needs to be more of this in the world... I read yesterday something so profoundly simple it stopped me in my tracks. If we want wars to end - follow the money, follow the people profiting financially from it. If there wasn't money in it for them, there would be peace 🕊 #kagyusamyeling #peace
