The journey inside my inner world

As cliché as it sounds, finding the expression of the universe in myself

Discovering the sides of myself I didn’t know existed

Feeding my soul with the best of the masterpieces in search of life, inspiration, driving force and excitement

Getting to the bottom of everything

Questioning everything I’ve always accepted as the ultimate truth

Waking up my true self

Rather than battling demons for the sake of battling the dark, trying to understand what lies underneath

Embracing the worst alongside the best to come to the surface

Trying to reconnect the conscious with the subconscious

Rethinking, rejecting, eliminating, setting up the boundaries, manifesting, trying, learning, opening up

Aiming for balance

Healing, growing, pushing through pain knowing that short-term discomfort leads to well-deserved enlightening and long-term peace

For most of my son's life
I was his teacher,
Now as an adult man
my son is teaching me.

The fate of the world
left up to human beings
never stood a chance

beneath a flowers petals I sheltered
for many years and days
days for Sun and days for rain
and years to be thankful.
