If you can talk, you can sing.
If you can walk, you can dance.
It has been recorded since before the dawn of time that spiritual leaders and healers were first dancers. Traditionally certain dances were used specifically for healing the body, mind, or spirit. These dances came from people who did not separate spirituality from every day life.

In loving others we expand our soul and consciousness.

Tiger Ring : 虎輪 2012 mix media 60 x 48
This painting represents my expression of strength through unity. By looking into his soul and communicating with his inner balance, the Monk learns to wield the Tiger Ring. In this realization he transcends and becomes one with the Heavens and Earth. In full circular motion. The beasts in his reflection begin to radiate peace and growth, enveloping his spirits into a sustainable state of cosmic zen.
虎輪是最堅持的勇氣、最堅強的愛。

title: In the Interest of Peace year: 2012 36 x 48
Every human being has a sacred duty to protect the welfare of our Mother Earth, for whom all life comes. In order to do this we must recognize the enemy- the one within us. We must begin with ourselves. We must live in harmony with the Natural World and recognize that excessive exploitation can only lead to our own destruction. We cannot trade the welfare of our future generations for profit now. We must abide by the Natural Law or be victim of its own reality. We must stand together, the four sacred colors of man, as the one family we are, in the interest of peace.

2012 is the year of the dragon. For some, it's the beginning of the end. For others, it's the end of the beginning. Personally, I envision a Spiritual Renaissance; a significant movement forward in our embrace and understanding of one another. It may seem optimistic in a cynical world, but true spirit is about what you believe in, what you hope for, and the positive changes you want to see.

Dear friends and fam, perhaps leave next Sunday evening open for some tasty uni goma tofu & art with yours truly at Toranoko. It's situated next to Lazy Ox. I believe the owners are planning a special menu, with hors d'oeuvres made for the occasion. Feel free to bring guests as well, doors open at 5PM. Come for dinner and/or drinks. Dress up in a nice costume and I'll deliver you a prize...
Dear friends & fam,

The lotus flower is unique because it seeds and blooms at the same time. It reflects life in full circle. The peony symbolizes romance and prosperity. It pronounces love through joyful creation. Such union between the two is akin to the spirit of the Sun, which defines the perpetuation of life and growth.
