To be alive is to read good books, drink good coffee, wear good shoes, and feel no guilt for doing no work. It's as simple as that.

Sketching someone's features is a deeply intimate process and it bonds me with the model. I get to swim in their expressions and see their features coming to life. I draw their stillness while imagining the movement behind it. Meet a beautiful stranger, a Hawaiian woman I caught a glimpse of when watching last year's … Continue reading Wahine
Purging
For those who have been on a spiritual path, the "Dark night of the Soul" is a term that they might not only be familiar with but also an experience that has defined the rest of their lives and the way they relate to the world and themselves. The most challenging and demanding energetically, emotionally, … Continue reading Purging
Giving
I have always lived with the feeling that something miraculous is about to happen to me. That at any corner, know or unknown, I will meet with an experience that will have me bewildered.That I am about to do something extraordinary. I didn't reach this mindset because I had an easy path but because I … Continue reading Giving
Just Be
Give yourself away to everything that crashes into you. All the pain, the bad, the shame, the quilt, and the insecurity.You mustn't forget that while the ego does not accept all the things you went through or still go through, you are part of a bigger plan. Accept the things you can not change knowing … Continue reading Just Be
Nirvana
I was, for over a decade, on a quest for the miraculous. Went looking for shamans, priests, wanderers, and madmen. Spoke to the rich and mighty, walked the paths of those who got lost, went from hedonism to stoicism, made money and lost money, made a fool of myself, fell in and out of love, … Continue reading Nirvana

You meet with a character that can completely change your perspective on the world. Or you feel how thanks to a good plot or interpretation, an idea … Continue reading World
Samsara
It's an early Saturday and my slightly opened eyes, stare at this blotch of color that changes its shape every now and then. The sun painted my walls in a deep cadmium yellow.My mind is restless for weeks now. It travels back and forth between memories, long-lost dreams, people I have met or I am … Continue reading Samsara
November Thought
The awakened being is a complete stranger to the world.An upsetting force that creates controversies, falls over the edge in almost everyone's eyes but its own.Here to be swallowed up. To break and fall and live with all the misery and love that a soul can take.To run wild towards dreams; to be sometimes, careless … Continue reading November Thought
Cheers to Life, to Love, to Joy!
I remember my 11th birthday.Or at least, parts of it.Surely, my mind deformed the memories, delivering altered, blurred moments. However, some emotions are bound to stay with me and carry themselves around as a secret identity that I only make available to myself. I was skinny and deeply tanned. Summer break, which always arrived in … Continue reading Cheers to Life, to Love, to Joy!
